Stephen C Success in 1 hour and 37 minutes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 06/27/25 Full Review David A Extremely entertaining film from 1975...Greatest year for movies ever. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 08/20/24 Full Review Audience Member based on the novel by Raymond Chandler and is actually the 2nd time it’s been adapted comes a story about a private eye who's feeling a bit weary now these days set in the 1940's Robert Mitchum is detective Phillip Marlowe who makes his living finding lost people; recently he gets hired by an ex-con to track down his gf, Velma who used to be a lounge singer during this Marlowe unwillingly gets framed for murder and he collides with a woman named Helen Charlotte Rampling is Helen Grayle who's the owner of a valuable necklace but it's possible at this point maybe the murders that have been happening and this missing woman are somehow tied together but how? Marlowe then gets caught up from one bad scenario to another slowly putting the pieces together this is a good ol' fashioned mystery story with nice plot turns with a classic noir feel to it and given it's set in the past helps elevate it there's cool small parts here played by the late Harry Dean-Stanton and a young Sylvester Stallone but it really is Mitchum who has class and charisma on the screen as Marlowe, he takes a beating just to get closer to the truth of the matter and lets nothing phase him, he always knows how to put on a smile but never lose sight of the situation he finds himself in this one has aged considerably well plus it sticks closer to the original source material Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 08/09/23 Full Review P C Simply the best film version of any Raymond Chandler novel, no one, not even Bogart or Powell, is better as Philip Marlowe than Robert Mitchum. The soundtrack is perfection. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 04/20/23 Full Review Audience Member From what I remember of the book the film follows it pretty closely which is good but for me Robert Mitchum is no Marlowe. Dirk Bogarde plays the character much better. The one-liners just don't work when Mitchum says them. I also think Marlowe needs to be filmed in noir and this doesn't have any. Disappointing. Rated 2/5 Stars •  Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/27/23 Full Review Audience Member Good throwback noir. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/15/23 Full Review Read all reviews
