About this listen
The complete collection of landmark BBC Radio dramas of Raymond Chandler's Philip Marlowe mysteries.
Philip Marlowe is the archetypal noir detective: wisecracking and world weary, hard boiled yet honourable. This volume includes all eight dramatisations of Raymond Chandler's groundbreaking crime novels featuring his iconic hero.
The Big Sleep: Marlowe is consulted by a wealthy family man with two big problems: his children.
Farewell My Lovely: Marlowe's search for an ex-con's ex-girlfriend leads him into danger.
The High Window: when a rare gold coin is stolen from her collection, Mrs Murdoch hires Philip Marlowe to find it.
The Lady in the Lake: businessman Derace Kingsley hires Marlowe to find his estranged wife, Crystal.
The Little Sister: commissioned to find Orfamay Quest's missing brother, Marlowe is drawn into the glamorous film world of Hollywood.
The Long Goodbye: Marlowe befriends a drunk named Terry Lennox but comes to regret doing him a favour.
Playback: hired to follow the mysterious Betty Mayfield, Marlowe soon finds that he is being tailed, too.
Poodle Springs: newly married Marlowe puts his bride aside to look for a gambler on the run.
Starring Toby Stephens as Philip Marlowe, these stylish, suspenseful dramatisations - full of witty, ironic dialogue and colourful characters - bring the beautiful, corrupt world of California in the '40s and '50s to luminous life.
Duration: 11 hours approx.

Masterpiece
Absolute masterpiece. For any fans of noir and detectives this is a MUST listen to, there's nothing out there like it. The audio production, writing, voice acting and everything is spot on. I actually think Toby Stephens is the best Philip Marlowe and if they ever do a new tv show or movie about Marlowe he needs to be cast. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

Stylish and quality production
Toby Stephens as the lead character Marlowe, is a Class Act. Brilliantly paced dialogue with authentic characterisation, dry wit and accent all on point. Well timed sound effects add to the Film Noir ambience. Supporting cast all contribute to a well rounded performance. Love it!

Not Ed Bishop
While Raymond Chandler was an awesome writer Toby Stevens is no Ed Bishop. The High Window and the Lady in the Lake were worth a listen the rest failed to meet the spot

Disappointing
Lots of swearing and blasphemy the original books blanked out. The acting and atmosphere was quality work, but it was unlistenable for me.
