Thanks so much. these radio plays are great. The actor playing Marlowe has the character down to a T. the direction is perfect, too. the show really feels like the ‘30’s and ‘40’s. just one thing, with all the times he gets hit on the head, i’m amazed it stills works 😂🌴☀️
Maybe you are familiar with Ross Macdonald? His style is much like that of Chandler. I like Chandler a bit more, but Macdonald is reasonably close in quality, and he wrote more books.
The story is very good, but the production even better. It has a great aura, particularly appropriate music, and is complicated enough to warrant another listen. One of the best.
I have now listened to the high window twice in a few days. It is so clever. Ive listened to hundreds of stories over the past years. It's my favourite short story. ❤ thank you 😊
I've never read any Marlow stories, just seen the movies. Some good, some less good.. This is better than most movies. Theater of the mind is always better than MGM or Warner Bros. Voices good. Acting believable. Sound effects good. Music good too. I'm surprised about the high level of production values. Thanks for the experience. I'll subscribe.
Oh my goodness! This was a gripping who-done-it... So many potential bad guys! You know there's something up from the beginning, but the twisty conclusion was just... No words! Thank you very much for posting!
I just watched The Big Sleep on BBC4 absolutely brilliant Bogart and Bacall were such a presence on screen and the story was sublime, a noir classic which will never to me get dated

My favorite novelist. Listen to the books if you can find then, sometimes you can on youtube. Most of his 6 major Marlow novels are pretty complex, except for Lady in the Lake I would say. But still I like Lady in the Lake as much as any of them. The abridged version fails though, because it minimized the role of the constable. He is one of the major shining points of that novel.
I've been enjoying the hell out of these recently. I think I've tuned in to all your Marlowe stories, the production value is incredible. Do you produce these yourself?
Listened to the entire radio broadcast of Phillip Marlowe from the late 40s early 50s and have read the books. For some reason he seems more like an uncaring asshole in these broadcasts. Gerald Mohr had the personality perfect for Marlowe.
A compression of the text. Chandler's Marlowe is wise, cheeky, lonely and built to be. Educated, fond of poetry and chess. A shop-worn Galahad. Too much for a radio play.
Yes. Dialogue / atmosphere and characters all excellent. Unfortunately the plot is ludicrously over complicated and the final scene is even longer than the average Poirot unmasking the murderer moment. Chandler was very critical of the English Country House style mystery but his own plots were just as implausible . !
In that old age, when most people were too mediocre to really change their lives, people ran out into the night, cravenly made it to the corner-store, diner, pub, or similar, and then babbled wild tales about mobsters, muggers & great adventures. Quality-wise, this series' did better than all the #OTR efforts! 🤗

I'm obsessed with Raymond Chandler. His way with words made me smile with happiness.
Maybe you are familiar with Ross Macdonald? His style is much like that of Chandler. I like Chandler a bit more, but Macdonald is reasonably close in quality, and he wrote more books.
The great thing about these radio plays are they are easy to listen to when you are driving or in bed at night. very convenient. Thanks.
Yes they are!
Or while working on nightshift as well (like some do ...).
Love Marlow! Chandler was a master storyteller in this genre.
The story is very good, but the production even better. It has a great aura, particularly appropriate music, and is complicated enough to warrant another listen. One of the best.
Thanks for listening

Glad you enjoy it!
Listening again and it's still fantastic.
This is one hell of a story. The best so far, I think.
This cast is amazing.
I felt like I was right there with them.
Like these radio stories better than watching the movie I can take it with me no matter where I go.
I would have never guessed that was Toby Stephens, mind blown.

Toby Stephens does an amazing Marlowe! Would really enjoy seeing it on a screen!!
Screen writing doesn't always do these things justice. Imagine it as straight dialogue, it loses a lot of his hilarious thoughts and descriptions.
Beautiful story ❤

Yes! That damn fly! Mwhaha!
Little Sister, don't you do what your big sister done!
one of the better stories - tho all i've heard were good.
I love private eye stories
I've been enjoying the hell out of these recently. I think I've tuned in to all your Marlowe stories, the production value is incredible. Do you produce these yourself?
Chandler really pegged that self centered, virtue signaling hypocrite type 100%. Such a common character today.
@nedkelly3436 She wasn't from LA
@nedkelly3436 the typical transplant to LA character.

Not uncaring - almost godlike cynical-seen too much of the worst!
A compression of the text. Chandler's Marlowe is wise, cheeky, lonely and built to be. Educated, fond of poetry and chess. A shop-worn Galahad. Too much for a radio play.
Who is doing the marlow voice?
Thursday
Idk why this character reminds me of Bruce Willis in Moonlighting.
Glad you enjoyed it!
