      This Marlowe is not evil enough

      A very good noir film. It is also a standard American melodrama. The complicated and twisted plots, together with the mystery, lingering in the minds of the viewers, were not solved until the last moment before the end of the film.
              The characters on the stage are also very American (that is, they have outstanding shapes and distinctive characters). Silly silly, violent Moose (played by Mike Mazurki). Grayle (played by Otto Kruger), a big villain with a strong sense of aristocracy,...

      Naremore's book added: Toulouse Cine-Club screened this in 1953, and the audience burst into laughter as soon as Powell Marlowe lost consciousness... (It feels like Powell's own comedian temperament (too funny hahahaha) In the history of film noir (if It should be the first time that Marlowe appeared on the screen with the name "Marlowe". It seems that this role should have been played by Mitchum (reminiscent of his role in "Marlowe"). The role in "Outside the Maelstrom", which is really...

      The structure is good, the script and the original should be more awesome, the filming is a bit messy, and the male pig is too lacking in the temperament of film...

      The audiovisual language is very advanced, and film noir finally merges with detective film. It's just that Powell, a musical actor, came to play Marlowe, it's too inconsistent, he looks too honest... I just can't accept someone other than Bogart to play Marlowe... The detective finally has a girl, it seems that this genre is still in the "" The stage of Guanshan Feidu", hey, don't say it, even the heroine is the...

      3+, flashbacks, various relationships are confusing, stream-of-consciousness-like dreams, and scumbag official subtitles, it's a bit tiring to watch. l Self-translated lines: Perhaps, you think that an old man is not suitable for marrying a young and beautiful wife. I played mind games with myself and lied to myself: Even if I had no money, she would marry me. I like this self-deception, it brings me happiness and pride. But I'm losing her now and I don't know...

Later, a girl named Ann (Anne Shirley Anne Shirley) appeared, and she told Marlowe that everything he had encountered was inextricably linked to her stepmother, Mrs. Greer, and the emeralds she owned. Marlowe, who is deeply curious about Emerald, decides to...

    Movie quotes

    • Lt. Randall: Let's get it on the record... from the beginning.

      Philip Marlowe: With Malloy, then. Oh, it was about seven o'clock. Anyway it was dark.

      Lt. Randall: What were you doing at the office that late?

      Philip Marlowe: I'm a homing pigeon. I always come back to the stinking coop, no matter how late it is. I'd been out peeking under old Sunday sections for a barber named Dominick whose wife wanted him back - I forget why. Only reason I took the job was because my bank account was trying to crawl under a duck.

    • Philip Marlowe: What were you saying?

      Dr. Sonderborg: I made no remark.

      Philip Marlowe: Remarks want you to make them. They got their tongues hanging out waiting to be said.

    • Lindsay Marriott: I'm afraid I don't like your manner.

      Philip Marlowe: Yeah, I've had complaints about it, but it keeps getting worse.
