Great show with a great actor playing Philip Marlowe

Great show. I love private detective stories, mysteries & crimes.

First time seeing an episode from this series. Excellent! I love the Marlow stories, and this was well written and well acted - with a couple of familiar faces. Philip Carey nails the character with real grit.

I love the Old time radio series, this iwas new to me. Ty

Good acting back then . Now we have wimps for 2021 .

Lacking the padding and "personal" stories of modern shows, these old features, crisp, uncluttered, and to the point, are a breath of fresh air. Thanks and keep them coming. Oh, we know it's not Chandler's writing and Batman isn't Batman anymore, either. Carey does a fine job as a tough PI; call it what you will.

Lots of action in a quick -26 minutes. Thanks CTV.

Originally telecast on March 8, 1960.

Betsy Jones Moreland was beautiful. She did a lot of TV shows.

A very good episode of "Philip Marlowe" with Philip Carey.

This series is special to me....i feel it has novelty, he, Raymond Chandler exudes virility....AAAhhh!!! his voice.....OOOOhhh! i enjoy these videos inmensely....not many of them....i wish....Grateful to ChiTownView for uploading them!

Lydia is Connie Hines I'd recognize that voice anywhere. She played Carol, Wilbur's wife on the hit tv show "Mr. Ed". Love that show. Connie Hines was born on March 24, 1931 in Dedham, Massachusetts, USA as Constance Faith Hines. She was an actress, known for Mister Ed (1958), Thunder in Carolina (1960) and Coronado 9 (1960). She was married to Lee Savin. She died on December 18, 2009 in Beverly Hills, California, USA.

TY for the upload, an excellent pocket sized drama. Carey made a fine Marlowe :-)

Love those antique cars!

Thank you so much for posting this. I hope that more episodes can be found.

The girl is completely nuts. .lol😂Great series Thanks!

It's really a fascinating moment seeing an actor you barely know, and then by name only, playing a famous character like Philip Carey. Good script, decent acting and oh, those fancy fifties cars.

Wow..didnt know this show existed...why are these kinda shows not shown..anymore ..

Awesome

I have read all of Raymond Chandler's Marlowe novels and also several of the Black Mask short stories some of his later novels are based on (in particular FAREWELL, MY LOVELY; a process he himself called "cannibalizing"). One of his specialties were hyperbolic comparisons, such as "The house itself was not so much. It was maller than Buckingham Palace ... and probably had fewer windows than the Chrysler Building" (from FAREWELL). Here, on the other hand, we must be content with less, e,g, puns like "talking of heels", "this was Mr. Gilbert's last shot", and "'... what happened to Lydia Mitchell's body?"' - "I don't know, but if I happen to run across it I'll be sure to call you'". And then there is the double meaning of "grave affair" in the title of this episode. And the remark "... me, or should I say I?" reminds us of Marlowe's ironical commentary on someone's overly correct language: "Nice use of the subjunctive." Marlowe, the voilence averse white knight coming to the rescue of damsels in distress would not have remained passive when Gilbert slapped his wife. Yet, seen altogether, I liked it.

Nice. Also nice to see younger William Shalert . Sorry to read in comments only two episodes known to survive. Marlow was big seller I can't see anyone just destroying films. But I am still upset over fire at Universal.

In my opinion, the best Philip Marlowe ever was Bogart in "The Big Sleep". Who came second? Robert Mitchum in "Farewell My Lovely". If you haven't seen these two movies, see them, you won't be disappointed. Again, these are my two favorite Marlowes. Everyone else...........it's just chin music!

It looks like a lot of these actors were on episodes of Perry Mason, which by the way Gene Wang was part of.

7:25 "Oh, speaking of heels..." "That's the kinda thing that killed vaudeville." Love this moment. Chandler would be proud. 🕵️

Just subscribed. From Keene, NH USA ~ I love that you put an actual description in the description box. tanks bunches.

phillip carey underrated actor

If Marlowe is looking familiar .. He played Asa Buchanan on One Life to Live. Quite handsome in his youth and matured.

Please post more episodes of this show if you have them, I love Phil Carey in this role.

Several years later Phil Carey was in another series Laredo, but many soap opera fans would know him as Asa Buchanan on One Life To Live .

Excellent choice for Marlowe. 9 minute hard boiled egg with that cicatrice across the cheek. Excellent.

This was produced by Goodson and Todman. I always thought they did nothing but gameshows until I saw this.

19:35 "You love me, remember?"

Beautiful cars and gorgeous broads!

i thought he made a good marlowe

I've seen several of Betsey Jones - Moreland's films. Glad I found this. Always thought she was sooooo attractive.

I love this kind of stagey acting. Some of the performers are used to film, the others slightly overact as if they're on stage for the benefit of a few rows back.

This is so interesting. Thank you so much. Yes, I agree, he makes a really good Marlowe. I wonder what happened to all these actors? All melted away. Stardom is so brief

Gave it a 7 on IMDB. Does anyone know where the rest of these can be found?

Par Excellente

I don't know, this Philip Matlowe is so strange and dark to me. I am used to the radio shows with Gerald Mohr playing Marlowe. Mohr's Marlowe has a sharp wit, dark humor, and actually cared for his clients. He was a people person, easy to get along with no matter what a person's social status was. This tv version is a dark and bitter. The tv actor barely smiles or even laughs. I guess I need to adjust to the tv version. Thank for the episodes 😃

If anybody give me the full episode of this TV series I probably would give that person one of my kidneys. After reading all the novels about Philip Marlowe, I have to admit that this Marlowe does not highly resemble the one in the novel, but somehow he is my favorite one (not counting Humphrey Bogart who only played Marlowe in one movie). I have looked over the internet, but just could not find the rest episodes, and it also seems impossible to buy a DVD, could any one tell me a possible way to get the rest of this series?(Sorry for my poor English)(Also, thank you very much for uploading this video, ChiTownView)

Sorry the above comment should be for “Farewell My Lovely”, not this television episode.

😮

Jack Weston who Marlowe refers to as the boy Artie was 35 years old when this was made.

y pa cuando en español?

I just can’t stand the casualness of dialogue about murdering her husband

The similarity between Raymond Chandler's Philip Marlowe and this typical late fifties/early sixties detective TV show goes no further than the character's name. The problem isn't just in the characterization, it's in the writing, especially the dialogue. It lacks all the wit of Chandler's stories. Too bad. Some colorful Chandleresque dialogue would have made this a standout show for it's time.

What a stink bomb. 3:38 was all I could stand

who can say NO....to phillip marlow.....sounds like a ciggarette.

Is there anything William Schallert wasn’t in?

Watching this after 2 years. At that time it was I'll to the papers, today it will be I 'll go to KZfaq, Facebook Twitter Instagram, let the whole world know ' he done me wrong.' With videos and selfies and accidentally leaked tapes. High grade neurotics. In the 60s,and still needy and gullible In the 20s.

The camera thinks his face is the only one it'll ever require .

yo

Dang the wife was HAWT

Terrible combing on this cap! Inverse telecine should have reconstructed the original ntsc film pretty damn straightforwardly.

Oooooooooh if looks could kill...11:18

As in so many of Chandler's stories, the murder was done by a Woman.

"Im a man!".

i love how folks want to go back to the good old days when everyone was so moral. lol

Not much Marlowe flavor here.
