Story5 out of 5 stars 4
He's tall. He's tough. He's the king of the hardboiled private eyes, and he's stalking the rain-swept streets of postwar Los Angeles. He's Philip Marlowe, here with 20 thrill-a-minute episodes produced and directed by Norman Macdonnell. Tough-voiced Gerald Mohr plays Raymond Chandler's Marlowe as a man who has been burned by the world a little too often for his own good. He finds mysteries among valuables and the violent, facing down false witnesses and frame-ups.

No bigger fad swept across postwar radio than that of the hard-boiled private detective - and nobody had more fun with their wink-and-nudge take on the genre than the producers, writers, and cast of The Adventures of Sam Spade. Dashiell Hammett's legendary private eye had a sardonic sense of humor, which wavy-haired, rugged-voiced Howard Duff played to perfection.

Story5 out of 5 stars 11
When Howard Duff, radio’s regular Sam Spade, was dropped from the show, Steven Dunne donned the trench coat. Finding his own brash and boyish style with the role, Dunne’s Spade was much like creator Dashiell Hammett himself - a grown-up teenager who loved a put-on, but could be depended on to be loyal and true despite his own troubles. In these digitally remastered capers, Hammett’s hard-boiled hero delves in to the domains of daytime serials, journalism, the waterfront, and international intrigue.

Publisher's Summary
"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." Raymond Chandler's tough, capable, smart-talking creation Philip Marlowe is one of the best-known fictional investigators in America. Through Marlowe's gaze, the translucent light of the L.A. basin comes to life, the nighttime smell of jasmine and sage, the sudden storms that cause traffic wrecks, and the desert winds that set nerves on edge.
Van Heflin and Gerald Mohr each play the title role in these electric episodes, cracking wise with the of angry glee of a take-charge operative who careens, cajoles, shoves, shouts, and sometime shoots his way to a solution in his quest for a stolen object, a missing person, or a killer needing to be found. Includes two Van Heflin episodes never before available to the public since their original broadcast. Includes 20 digitally restored and re-mastered episodes.
Episodes include: "The Red Wind", 06-17-47; "The Daring Young Dame on the Flying Trapeze", 07-01-47; "The King in Yellow", 07-08-47; "Trouble Is My Business", 08-05-47; "Robin and the Hood", 08-19-47; "Where There's a Will", 10-17-48; "The Last Laugh", 04-02-49; "The Ebony Link", 05-28-49; "The Dude From Manhattan", 07-02-49; "The August Lion", 08-06-49; "The Tale of the Mermaid", 10-01-49; "The Torch Carriers", 01-07-50; "Hairpin Turn", 01-28-50; "Ladies' Night", 02-21-50; "The Sword of Seibu", 03-28-50; "The Bedside Manner", 05-30-50; "The Gold Cobra", 06-21-50; "The Last Wish", 07-19-50; "The Fifth Mask", 09-08-50; "The Fatted Calf", 09-24-50.
