"Get this and get it straight!" We're celebrating Gerald Mohr - the radio actor who brought a two-fisted intensity to Philip Marlowe - in honor of his birthday on June 11. He was one of the best stars of the era, and his performance makes The Adventures of Philip Marlowe one of the best detective dramas of the day. We'll hear Mohr as Marlowe in "The Easy Mark" (originally aired on CBS on January 29, 1949) and "The Long Arm" (originally aired on CBS on February 7, 1950). Then, he's a less scrupulous character in "Lady with a Key" from The Whistler (originally aired on CBS on April 2, 1950).
