Hello and welcome to another episode of nostalgic mystery radio.

I'm your host, Stevie K.

And I'm honored to bring you the radio shows of yesteryear.

For this episode, I bring you Philip Marlowe and The Friend from Detroit,

originally aired March 5, 1949,

where Marlowe is awakened in the middle of the night

by a call from a man who runs a lunch counter,

begging Marlowe's help to find his missing wife.

Marlowe's investigations lead him smack into the middle of the murder investigation.

So sit back, relax, and enjoy nostalgic mystery radio.

The Adventures of Philip Marlowe.

The Adventures of Philip Marlowe.

And now with Gerald Moore, starred as Philip Marlowe,

And with every turn, she smiled and came closer.
