Excellent Tor article on Philip Marlowe films
Kes: and the author feels just as strongly wtf? as I do about Altman's "The Long Goodbye" and just as awed by the perfect casting of Robert Mitchum in "Farewell, My Lovely." I just read "Trouble Is My Business" last night, alhough I'm note ven vaguely tempted to check out the film by the same title that was made a decade or more ago.
