The Adventures Of Philip Marlowe | Old Time RadioShow Notes
The Adventures of Philip Marlowe, “The Baton Sinister,” originally broadcast September 17, 1949, is episode 50 of the CBS detective series. Gerald Mohr stars as hard-boiled Los Angeles private eye Philip Marlowe.
A valuable fifteenth-century tapestry, an art broker, and a murder-bound trail draw Marlowe into a case where a small heraldic detail—a blue diagonal baton sinister—may be the crucial clue. His search leads from a bus-depot locker to the shadowed addresses of Bunker Hill. Written by Gene Levitt and directed by Norman Macdonnell.
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.
