The Adventures of Philip Marlowe — 1948
14 episodes broadcast in 1948.
Gerald Mohr takes over as Marlowe for the CBS premiere -- a fresh staging of the 'Red Wind' story, thick with dames, gunplay and an old double-cross.
Marlowe searches for a woman who has vanished rather than face a decision about leaving her husband.
A paid weekend in Malibu curdles into danger as Marlowe is drawn among betting debts, a red-headed 'Dragon Lady,' and a baffling man in a Panama hat.
Three heirs, a $300,000 estate and a map maroon Marlowe on a bizarre island -- livestock, a killing and all -- to untangle an eccentric's will.
A $50 retainer and a heart-shaped locket lead Marlowe from an apparent suicide to a buried secret worth killing over.
