The Adventures of Philip Marlowe starring Van Heflin, originally broadcast June 17, 1947, 76 years ago, Red Wind. . The first show of the series, as a summer replacement for Bob Hope. Forty-one matched pearls with a diamond propeller clasp...a good reason for murder!

I'm done fighting with my doctors. A variety of health issues have led me to a decision that I hoped I wouldn't have to make for a couple of more years.

Classic Radio Theater will end June 30, 2023.

I want to thank everyone who made this show possible over the years. I know it's only about three weeks for stations to make alternate programming arrangements, but it's a choice that I had to make. I'm nearing 70 years of age, and the grind of producing these shows is just too much.

It has been my honor and pleasure to serve you these past eight years.
