Description

CBS capitalizes on iconic noir detective ‘Philip Marlowe’

Detective novelist (1888–1959) best known for The Big Sleep and The Long Goodbye. His seven novels center around tough but honest private investigator Philip Marlowe. DS, one page, 8.5 x 11, July 6, 1951. An option agreement between CBS and Chandler clarifying a point “relating to the licensing of the ‘Philip Marlowe’ title, name, and character.” Boldly signed at the conclusion by Chandler. In fine condition, with paperclip impression to top edge, and a few minor creases. Chandler was notoriously unhappy with CBS’s efforts to create a series around his Marlowe character. Pre-certified PSA/DNA and RRAuction COA.
