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, Helen (played by Claire Trevor), a young man and a femme fatale who wants a lot of money, and a rich old man (Grayle (Miles Mander) who regards money and his wife as his life. Played) innocent, lovely Ann (played by Anne Shirley). Each and every one of them is a character worth chewing.
Compared with these supporting characters, our protagonist, Marlowe played by Dick Powell, is a bit unbelievable. (a big hero with a sense of justice at all times), compared to the great Humphrey Bogart playing Marlowe, he lacks the uninhibited and evil taste that the Marlowe in my mind should have.
This is really me The only regret I felt after watching this movie.

Murder, My Sweet quotes

  • Lt. Randall: [during an interrogation] How do you feel?

    Philip Marlowe: Like a duck in a shooting gallery.

  • Philip Marlowe: He was doubled up on his face in that bag-of-old-clothes position that always means the same thing: he had been killed by an amateur. Or, by somebody who wanted it to look like an amateur job. Nobody else would hit a man that many times with a sap.
