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

Based on Chandler’s celebrated 1943 novel, The Lady in the Lake takes listeners deep into the shadows of deception, murder, and intrigue. Hollywood icon Robert Montgomery reprises his role as the cool, sharp-tongued Marlowe, following his performance in the 1947 MGM film adaptation, which he also directed. Lending sophistication and allure to the broadcast is sultry-voiced lead actress Audrey Totter, who captivates as the enigmatic femme fatale at the heart of the mystery.

Lux Radio Theatre, known for its live productions and star-studded casts, 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, talk about The Lady in the Lake film, how Raymond Chandler liked to write his Marlowe series, and whether $10 a day (plus expenses) was a good fee for a private detective in 1949.

Tune in now to our latest podcast installment and let The Lady in the Lake pull you into its dark, reflective depths.
