The Lady In The Lake. (Black and white, Philip Marlowe mystery.) It was ok but I kept wanting to fast forward.
Oh, I hate that adaption. The whole camera POV gimmick gets old really fast. And Robert Montgomery as Marlow? Blech. Almost as bad as the Dick Powell Murder, My Sweet.
The only movie Marlows I can stomach are Bogie (The Big Sleep) and Mitchum (Farewell, My Lovely).
Eliot Gould and James Garner could, and should, have been great Marlows; unfortunately the films in which they played the P.I. just suck.
We need a new Marlow movie. What modern actor would make a great Phillip Marlow? Hmmmm...a real noodle scratcher, that. Worthy of its own thread, I'd wot.
Sorry, I can talk Marlow all day. Chandler was GOD!
