Episode 172 - More, More, Mohr (Nero Wolfe, The Whistler, & Philip Marlowe)

With his powerful voice, Gerald Mohr was equally effective as both hero and heel on radio. Listeners may know him best as Raymond Chandler's hard-boiled shamus Philip Marlowe, but Mohr logged nearly five hundred performances during the Golden Age of Radio playing everything from slapstick comedy to high adventure. We'll hear him as Archie Goodwin – opposite Sydney Greenstreet's Nero Wolfe – in "The Case of the Phantom Fingers" (originally aired on NBC on January 26, 1951). Then, Mohr is a mob boss with a secret in "Caesar's Wife" from The Whistler (originally aired on CBS on June 2, 1947). Finally, Mohr is Marlowe in "The Grim Hunters" (originally aired on CBS on March 12, 1949).
