Show Notes

The Adventures of Philip Marlowe presents “The Final Payment,” episode 101, originally broadcast on CBS on September 15, 1950. Gerald Mohr stars as Raymond Chandler’s hard-boiled private detective in this original radio mystery by Gene Levitt and Robert Mitchell.

Marlowe visits a young man awaiting execution for his role in a jewel robbery and murder—and agrees to one last unpaid favor: find the missing jewels and return them to the victim’s widow. The trail leads from the state penitentiary to San Pedro’s waterfront, where dry docks, warehouses, and dangerous old connections await.

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.
