The Adventures of Philip Marlowe - "The Eager Witness" (1949)
Old Time Mystery Radio | Old Time RadioShow Notes
The Adventures of Philip Marlowe presents “The Eager Witness,” originally broadcast on CBS on August 27, 1949. In episode 47, Gerald Mohr stars as Raymond Chandler’s hard-boiled Los Angeles private detective.
Marlowe takes the stand for the prosecution in the murder trial of a notorious bookie, but an apparently ironclad alibi throws the case into doubt. With time running short, he follows the trail of a witness whose eagerness to testify raises troubling questions—and leads toward blackmail and danger. Written by Gene Levitt and Robert Mitchell, and produced and directed by Norman Macdonnell.
Old Time Mystery Radio presents the original broadcast with a newly produced contextual introduction, a short closing announcement, and gently cleaned and mastered audio for a more consistent listening experience.
