Put on your snap-brim fedora, cinch up a trench coat, and get ready to immerse yourself in a noir-drenched mystery with our Old Time Radio classic, The Lady in the Lake. Originally airing in 1949 on the Lux Radio Theatre, this thrilling adaptation brings Raymond Chandler’s hard-boiled detective, Philip Marlowe, to life in a gripping drama that you won’t want to miss.

Based on Chandler’s celebrated 1943 novel, The Lady in the Lake, this old time radio classic takes listeners into a world of deception, murder, and intrigue. Hollywood icon Robert Montgomery reprises his role as the cool, sharp-tongued Marlowe, from the 1947 film of the same name. Lending sophistication and allure to radio drama is Audrey Totter, as the enigmatic femme fatale at the heart of the mystery.

Known for its live productions and star-studded casts, Lux Radio Theatre delivers a suspenseful adaptation that captures the essence of Chandler’s hard-edged prose. With snappy dialogue, and a story full of unexpected twists, this episode is a puzzling whodunit.

Co-hosts Mary and Greg, contrast the film and the radio drama, and talk about the writing style of Raymond Chandler. Was $10 a day (plus expenses) a good fee for a private detective in 1949? You be the judge!

Tune in now and let The Lady in the Lake submerge you in its dark, reflective depths.
