The Long Rope

A man dealing with heart problems, a phone number written on a cash register receipt, and a dead body across town seemed unrelated until it became clear they were all connected by a rope worth $30,000. This is a rehearsal recording; the actual broadcast version is catalogued as #92054.

The Adventures of Philip Marlowe was a radio series featuring Raymond Chandler's private eye, Philip Marlowe. Robert C. Reinehr and Jon D. Swartz, in their book, The A to Z of Old Time Radio, noted that the program differed from most others in its genre: "It was a more hard-boiled program than many of the other private detective shows of the time, containing few quips or quaint characters."
