Farewell My Lovely
1975, 91 minutes, Rated M
The neon-drenched, smoke filled LA of 1941 forms the background for this acclaimed adaptation of Raymond Chandler's novel. Philip Marlowe (Robert Mitchum) has two cases on his books, and they may not be as unconnected as they seem.
Giant-sized Moose Malloy is straight out of gaol and looking for Velma, his chorus-line girlfriend. Marlowe takes sympathy on him and agrees to track her down but all he finds is a dead end. Meanwhile, smooth gigolo Lindsay Marriott is eager to buy back a rare jade necklace from thieves and hires Marlowe as protection during the transaction.
Before he knows it, Marlowe finds himself surrounded by murder, intrigue and a secret but deadly connection.
