Weird Scenes Week 86 The Hard Boiled Exploits of Philip Marlowe

Third Eye Cinema / Weird Scenes Inside the Goldmine podcast

Tonight, we’re doing something different. Rather than tackling a genre, director or actor, we’re actually going to take on a fictional character as represented in film.

Raymond Chandler was a dual citizen of the UK and US who turned to writing when he lost his job as an oil exec in the Great Depression. In addition to co-scripting Double Indemnity with Billy Wilder, Strangers on a Train with Alfred Hitchcock and writing The Blue Dahlia which starred Alan Ladd and Veronica Lake, he wrote 7 ½ novels in his lifetime, and most of them were turned into film…some several times. And the character? Philip Marlowe.

Some of these films were produced under different titles, or in established B-picture film series revolving around established radio detectives like The Falcon and Michael Shayne, others became much celebrated entries in the noir and neo-noir genre and high points in the filmography of big names like Humphrey Bogart, Robert Mitchum and Elliott Gould. And with directors like Howard Hawks, Edward Dmytryk, Robert Altman and Michael Winner, we’re not exactly talking programmers here…

Join us as we talk the films of Chandler’s Philip Marlowe, only here on Weird Scenes!
