About this episode
The Red Wind by Raymond Chandler is a classic piece of noir fiction, and its adaptation to radio had a strong influence on the genre. The story, originally published in 1938, introduces listeners to Philip Marlowe, the hard-boiled detective who navigates the treacherous streets of Los Angeles.
The radio adaptation captures Chandler's gritty, atmospheric prose, drawing audiences into a world where the line between good and evil is blurred. Throughout the play, the Santa Ana winds howl in the background, creating a delicious sense of unease.
Greg and Mary talk about the performances of Van Heflin and Lurene Tuttle, the music score by Lyn Murray, and Chander's evocative writing.
