With his powerful voice, Gerald Mohr was equally effective as both hero and heel on radio. Listeners may know him best as Raymond Chandler\\u2019s 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\\u2019ll hear him as Archie Goodwin \\u2013 opposite Sydney Greenstreet\\u2019s Nero Wolfe \\u2013 in \\u201cThe Case of the Phantom Fingers\\u201d (originally aired on NBC on January 26, 1951). Then, Mohr is a mob boss with a secret in \\u201cCaesar\\u2019s Wife\\u201d from The Whistler (originally aired on CBS on June 2, 1947). Finally, Mohr is Marlowe in \\u201cThe Grim Hunters\\u201d (originally aired on CBS on March 12, 1949).
