Philip Marlowe is an ABC crime series, featuring Philip Carey as Marlowe, the fictional private detective created by Raymond Chandler. It was broadcast from October 6, 1959, until March 29, 1960.

Premise
Like the Marlowe in Chandler's novels, the detective worked alone in the TV show, but he "had become a much more gentlemanly sort than on the printed page." == Cast ==
Cast
Philip Carey as Philip Marlowe • William Schallert as Lt. Manny Harris • Ed Kemmer as Ralph Craig ==Episodes==
Production
NBC-TV financed the original pilot for a Marlowe series starring Carey, but it sold the program and Carey to ABC, which revamped it. Mark Goodson and Bill Todman produced the series. The directors were Irvin Kershner, Robert Ellis Miller, and Paul Stewart. The writers were Charles Beaumont and Gene Wang. The program's lack of success was attributed to its similarity to other contemporary detective series. Sponsors were Brown & Williamson and American Home Products. == References ==
