The Adventures of Marlowe Written and read by David Barry
It was a hot June day; the wind blew the heat down from Pasadena. It was a time when little old ladies beat hell out of their dogs, and husbands come home from work and murder their wives. Business was bad for a private eye. Producer BARBARA CROWTHER

George Cole. Charles Gray and John Rye in The Philanthropist A Bourgeois Comedy by CHRISTOPHER HAMPTON
I'm not unhappy. I mean, 1 am at the moment, but .. when you consider how pleasant my job is, how well-fed and privileged and comfortable I am. and how easy it is for me to be tolerant and compassionate, it does seem perverse to be unhappy as well, doesn't it? I mean, to be unhappy on top of all that does seem unreasonably self-indulgent, don't you think? '
