Here's a post for those of us who love Philip Marlowe, Raymond Chandler annnnnd Van Heflin!

A letter from Raymond Chandler to famed literary agent H.N. Swanson about a script for "The Adventures of Philip Marlowe" radio show that aired in summer of 1947 and starred Van Heflin.

A photo put out by NBC to promote the radio show.

A guest column that Van wrote about meeting Raymond Chandler and understanding the character of Marlowe. (I've posted this before, but I thought I'd repost to accompany the two new-to-me items here.)

It's wonderful to get these insights and to know about their mutual admiration and respect!
