Los Angeles 1941. Une espèce de géant plutot fruste, Moose Malloy, engage le détective privé Philip Marlowe pour retrouver sa petite amie, Velma, une chanteuse de cabaret dont il a été séparé par sept années de prison. Marlowe, mis sur une fausse piste par d'anciennes connaissances de Velma, accepte une autre affaire... (AB International Distribution)

"The house itself wasn't much. It was smaller than Buckingham Palace and probably had fewer windows than the Chrysler building..." With Marlowe, it was never about how well he could throw a punch, handle a weapon, or his physical condition, but rather the "sound" of the actor portraying him. Forget about age, Robert Mitchum nails it and brings the necessary lightness to the role. That lightness might be missing, except in the case of the cop Harry Dean Stanton, disregarded by those around him, but when it comes to the journey of a weary private investigator, where between the sudden start and the anticipated end, there are a few beatings, surprises, seemingly meaningless detours, and corpses, you can count on it. Maybe it was the neon lights, but not once did I think there were too many colors.
