Hello and welcome to another episode of Nostalgam Mystery Radio.

I'm your host Stevie K.

And it's my honor to bring you the radio shows of yesterday year.

For this episode, I bring you the adventures of Philip Marlowe, episode titled The Last Laugh, originally aired April 2nd, 1949, where a grim joke started when six airs came to an ugly house on a rain-swept island to hear a madman's will.

The joke soon turned to murder and in the end it was hard to tell who had the last laugh.

So sit back and relax, and I hope you enjoy this nostalgic mystery radio.

Thank you for listening.

It was a grim joke that started when six airs came to an ugly house on a rain-swept island to hear a madman's will.

But the joke soon turned to murder, and in the end it was hard to tell who had the last laugh.

From the pen of Raymond Chandler, outstanding author of crime fiction, comes his most famous character in... The Adventures of Philip Marlowe.

... The Adventures of Philip Marlowe. Now, with Gerald Moore, starred as Philip Marlowe, we bring you tonight's exciting story, The Last laugh. I'd spent a week waiting through moldy beer joints and cheap hotels after a dancer on the

downgrade. And when I found her, she was two days dead in a coal cellar, all of which left me with

a rancid taste in my mouth.

But when I woke up after a night's sleep to the tune of a robin on my window sill, I realized

it was spring in time for Marlowe to take a long, easy weekend someplace.

Some place where the surf meets sand like it does, it says, ensnada.

Without so much as a second thought, I threw some clothes in a bag.

Phone the Riviera Pacifico for reservations and charged out the door.

Where I ran head on into a funny man with a studio's face charging in.

Oh, I'm awfully sorry.

Why, you're Philip Marlow?

Yeah, yeah, I know.
