Good acting back then . Now we have wimps for 2021 .
Great show with a great actor playing Philip Marlowe
Great show. I love private detective stories, mysteries & crimes.
Lots of action in a quick -26 minutes. Thanks CTV.
Lacking the padding and "personal" stories of modern shows, these old features, crisp, uncluttered, and to the point, are a breath of fresh air. Thanks and keep them coming. Oh, we know it's not Chandler's writing and Batman isn't Batman anymore, either. Carey does a fine job as a tough PI; call it what you will.
Thanks for watching Charlie
A very good episode of "Philip Marlowe" with Philip Carey.
Good show for its time
TY for the upload, an excellent pocket sized drama. Carey made a fine Marlowe :-)
Thanks for watching Chris. We have posted another episode from this series. ruclips.net/video/kRZRdAJqwMc/видео.html
This series is special to me....i feel it has novelty, he, Raymond Chandler exudes virility....AAAhhh!!! his voice.....OOOOhhh! i enjoy these videos inmensely....not many of them....i wish....Grateful to ChiTownView for uploading them!
Thank you so much for posting this. I hope that more episodes can be found.
Originally telecast on March 8, 1960.
Lydia is Connie Hines I'd recognize that voice anywhere. She played Carol, Wilbur's wife on the hit tv show "Mr. Ed". Love that show. Connie Hines was born on March 24, 1931 in Dedham, Massachusetts, USA as Constance Faith Hines. She was an actress, known for Mister Ed (1958), Thunder in Carolina (1960) and Coronado 9 (1960). She was married to Lee Savin. She died on December 18, 2009 in Beverly Hills, California, USA.
Lee Savin producer of The TAMI Show a rock & soul film with a great lineup.
Love those antique cars!
Just "yesterday," not so "antique."
The girl is completely nuts. .lol😂Great series Thanks!
Thanks for watching.
It's really a fascinating moment seeing an actor you barely know, and then by name only, playing a famous character like Philip Carey. Good script, decent acting and oh, those fancy fifties cars.
Thanks for watching John.
Game-show veterans Mark Goodson and Bill Todman, Sr. were behind the Raymond Chandler-created crime drama Philip Marlowe, which began broadcasting on radio ever since the 1940s.
Awesome
Wow..didnt know this show existed...why are these kinda shows not shown..anymore ..
Probably because no one knows they existed. On the other hand it would make for a nice change from the same tired war horses they keep trotting out over and over again.
Nice. Also nice to see younger William Shalert . Sorry to read in comments only two episodes known to survive. Marlow was big seller I can't see anyone just destroying films. But I am still upset over fire at Universal.
phillip carey underrated actor
I have read all of Raymond Chandler's Marlowe novels and also several of the Black Mask short stories some of his later novels are based on (in particular FAREWELL, MY LOVELY; a process he himself called "cannibalizing").
One of his specialties were hyperbolic comparisons, such as "The house itself was not so much. It was maller than Buckingham Palace ... and probably had fewer windows than the Chrysler Building" (from FAREWELL).
Here, on the other hand, we must be content with less, e,g, puns like "talking of heels", "this was Mr. Gilbert's last shot", and "'... what happened to Lydia Mitchell's body?"' - "I don't know, but if I happen to run across it I'll be sure to call you'". And then there is the double meaning of "grave affair" in the title of this episode. And the remark "... me, or should I say I?" reminds us of Marlowe's ironical commentary on someone's overly correct language: "Nice use of the subjunctive."
Marlowe, the voilence averse white knight coming to the rescue of damsels in distress would not have remained passive when Gilbert slapped his wife.
Yet, seen altogether, I liked it.
Thanks for watching and your insightful comments.
Goodson-Todman's legendary ABC crime drama Philip Marlowe was loosely based on a series of private-investigator novels by the late Raymond Chandler, originating during the Golden Age of Radio in the 1940s.
I know. Chandler just didn't write enough novels.
It looks like a lot of these actors were on episodes of Perry Mason, which by the way Gene Wang was part of.
7:25 "Oh, speaking of heels..." "That's the kinda thing that killed vaudeville."
Love this moment. Chandler would be proud. 🕵️
Please post more episodes of this show if you have them, I love Phil Carey in this role.
Carole I would if I could but the two I've posted are all that's available now. I do have a nice collection of vintage noir films and TV shows on my web site, here's a link;mindsimedia.info/Crime%20Scene/CS%20index.html#.WfZE1WiPKUl

Excellent choice for Marlowe. 9 minute hard boiled egg with that cicatrice across the cheek. Excellent.
Did you think that Scar was a little over the top? I also thought Phil Carey was a little too tall. He towered over everybody. Other than that, he was a perfect choice
Just subscribed. From Keene, NH USA ~ I love that you put an actual description in the description box. tanks bunches.
Thanks so much for watching Jane we have more vintage crime shows and films on our Crime Scene page at mindsimedia.info/Crime%20Scene/index.html#.V-sPufArKUk
ChiTownView Oh, tanks bunches for the link. Crime Noir is really my very favorite. Good site.
Several years later Phil Carey was in another series Laredo, but many soap opera fans would know him as Asa Buchanan on One Life To Live .
And in All In The Family he had a memorable role in an episode where he plays an ex football player friend of Archie's who he discovers is gay.
Beautiful cars and gorgeous broads!
19:35 "You love me, remember?"
Thank you very much and thanks for watching I have a page on my web site with a similar films and TV shows. mindsimedia.info/Crime%20Scene/index.html#.V9qzd5grKUk
Thanks heaps for the share :) keep up the fine work.
This was produced by Goodson and Todman. I always thought they did nothing but gameshows until I saw this.
In addition to their game and panel shows {'WHAT'S MY LINE?", I'VE GOT A SECRET", "THE PRICE IS RIGHT", "TO TELL THE TRUTH", et. al.}, Mark and Bill {"Bilmar"} also produced this series in prime-time, as well as 'THE REBEL" that season.
@@fromthesidelines And Brandedd.
I've seen several of Betsey Jones - Moreland's films. Glad I found this. Always thought she was sooooo attractive.
If anybody give me the full episode of this TV series I probably would give that person one of my kidneys. After reading all the novels about Philip Marlowe, I have to admit that this Marlowe does not highly resemble the one in the novel, but somehow he is my favorite one (not counting Humphrey Bogart who only played Marlowe in one movie). I have looked over the internet, but just could not find the rest episodes, and it also seems impossible to buy a DVD, could any one tell me a possible way to get the rest of this series?(Sorry for my poor English)(Also, thank you very much for uploading this video, ChiTownView)
All the episodes besides the two I've posted may have been destroyed before the advent of video. Do a save search on Ebay and if anything pops up they'll let you know. Thanks for watching wish I could help you I have a friend that could really use that kidney.
OK now I see that the kidney thing I said wasn't really a wise exaggeration. Thanks for the advice and best wishes for your friend.
@@lotekicho2463 that's ok it was just an interesting coincidence.
Are you aware of Powers Boothe's Marlowe?
Par Excellente
Sorry the above comment should be for “Farewell My Lovely”, not this television episode.
I love this kind of stagey acting. Some of the performers are used to film, the others slightly overact as if they're on stage for the benefit of a few rows back.
Gave it a 7 on IMDB. Does anyone know where the rest of these can be found?
i thought he made a good marlowe
Yep. Very good at dead pan delivery. One of the best I've ever seen, in fact.
😮
Jack Weston who Marlowe refers to as the boy Artie was 35 years old when this was made.
who can say NO....to phillip marlow.....sounds like a ciggarette.
This is so interesting. Thank you so much. Yes, I agree, he makes a really good Marlowe. I wonder what happened to all these actors? All melted away. Stardom is so brief
I don't know, this Philip Matlowe is so strange and dark to me.
I am used to the radio shows with Gerald Mohr playing Marlowe. Mohr's Marlowe has a sharp wit, dark humor, and actually cared for his clients. He was a people person, easy to get along with no matter what a person's social status was.
This tv version is a dark and bitter. The tv actor barely smiles or even laughs.
I guess I need to adjust to the tv version.
Thank for the episodes 😃
Is there anything William Schallert wasn’t in?
y pa cuando en español?
Watching this after 2 years. At that time it was I'll to the papers, today it will be I 'll go to RUclips, Facebook Twitter Instagram, let the whole world know ' he done me wrong.' With videos and selfies and accidentally leaked tapes. High grade neurotics. In the 60s,and still needy and gullible In the 20s.
The similarity between Raymond Chandler's Philip Marlowe and this typical late fifties/early sixties detective TV show goes no further than the character's name. The problem isn't just in the characterization, it's in the writing, especially the dialogue. It lacks all the wit of Chandler's stories. Too bad. Some colorful Chandleresque dialogue would have made this a standout show for it's time.
Agreed. Kind of want to like it, would have like more if Carey was just playing another named character. (similar problem with Darren McGavin's Mike Hammer TV).
Writer/producer Gene Wang previously wrote for "PERRY MASON", and later worked on Peter Falk's "THE TRIALS OF O'BRIEN" (1965-'66).
The camera thinks his face is the only one it'll ever require .
yo
Oooooooooh if looks could kill...11:18
Dang the wife was HAWT
Yes indeed!
Terrible combing on this cap! Inverse telecine should have reconstructed the original ntsc film pretty damn straightforwardly.
The effort is appreciated though, these are fairly difficult to come by.
As in so many of Chandler's stories, the murder was done by a Woman.
i love how folks want to go back to the good old days when everyone was so moral. lol
Not much Marlowe flavor here.
