Customer Reviews of Philip Marlowe Vol. 1

The hardest of the hard-boiled detectives
"Get this and get it straight. Crime is a sucker's road and those who travel it wind up in the gutter, the prison or the grave. There's no other end -- but they never learn." <
>Philip Marlowe was the creation of Raymond Chandler. Like Dashiell Hammett's Sam Spade, one of the best remembered portrayals of Marlowe in the movies is by Humphrey Bogart (in "The Big Sleep"). Although Gerald Mohr wasn't the first person to play Philip Marlowe on the radio, he was certainly the best. Mohr made Marlowe the hardest of the hard-boiled detectives and the show had the same fast-paced dialog and darkly complex plots that Chandler fans came to expect, despite the fact that Chandler never had anything to do with the series.
