Thanks, interesting doc, real life Chinatown.
If you like Chandler, you must listen to the six 90-minute BBC radio adaptations, with Ed Bishop as Marlowe from the 1970s:

Cool, retro, atmospheric and crisp. This is not casual
listening, you have to pay attention to every name and
plot twist. Better than Gould (not difficult), Mitchum and
even Bogart, Ed Bishop is the best Marlowe. Perhaps the
femmes fatales do not come close to Bacall - who can? -
but there are delightful female performances of banality,
calculation and evil. Pour yourself a big one, turn the
lights down, relax on the couch, and prepare to lose
yourself in 90 minutes of perfect noir.
P.S. There was a BBC second series with Toby Stevens as Marlowe, so not these, accept no substitute for Bishop, but they are free to download:
