A portrait of Raymond Chandler by John Foster and Fred Burnley

Raymond Chandler, creator of the Philip Marlowe mystery thrillers, died ten years ago. Tonight's documentary portrays Chandler's life and creative attitudes - in his own words. Dramatised excerpts from his letters and novels reveal conflicting aspects: the sensitive, diffident writer - and the tough, cool private-eye hero.
with J. B. Priestley
