"Philip Marlowe: The Three Wise Guys" live recreation of lost noir detective audio drama from 1948

Our Christmas present for you is a lost episode of the classic detective drama "The Adventures of Philip Marlowe" with a holiday theme! Because Audion's previous Philip Marlowe restoration became its most popular episode ever, we returned to our archives to unearth a Marlowe script which hasn't been performed or heard since December 19, 1948 -- "The Three Wise Guys." "The Adventures of Philip Marlowe" ran for three years on network radio, with new noir-ish tales from  author Raymond Chandler's detective. In this episode, it was the night before Christmas and (as Marlowe says) "a sweet girl was in trouble.  But that didn't mean a thing to the second-story man, the four-flusher in spats, and the ex-Chicago cabbie -- until, one way or the other, they all got into the spirit of the thing..." Our cast, which recorded this episode live in the classic radio drama style, included:

Andy Hartson-Bowyer in Virginia
Tom Konkle in California
Hunter Adkins in Maryland
Gregg Mcafee in California
Jessica Matthews in Texas
Rhiannon Mcafee in California

Paul Kovit in New York
