Show Notes

The Adventures of Philip Marlowe, “Red Wind,” originally broadcast June 17, 1947, is episode 1 of the series. This NBC premiere stars Van Heflin as Raymond Chandler’s hard-boiled private detective, with Lurene Tuttle.

On a hot Los Angeles night driven by the Santa Ana wind, Marlowe stops for a beer and finds himself caught in the aftermath of a killing. A frightened woman, a missing pearl necklace, and a trail of danger pull him into a tense case adapted by Milton Geiger from Chandler’s “Red Wind.”

Old Time Retro Radio presents the original broadcast with a newly produced contextual introduction, a short closing announcement, and gently cleaned/mastered audio for a more consistent listening experience.
