The White Carnation
Detective Marlowe stumbles upon a dead body in a flower shop and encounters a fortune-telling gypsy, then witnesses a deadly fight near a busy merry-go-round—all triggered by a man's failure to remember a single white carnation. This is the network-sponsored version of the show, episode #16276.

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."
