I like Robert Altman's films and this appears to be a wild, whacky, film like MASH. But if you like Chandler then this movie just strikes a wrong chord and falls flat. I've seen it 3 or 4 times but every time I come to the same conclusion: it's a complete flop, especially Gould as Philip Marlowe.Walker Martinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16089880902426182100noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4705940625481143611.post-64559467103193001862010-05-18T10:10:22.104-07:002010-05-18T10:10:22.104-07:00Me neither.

I just couldn't warm to Gould as Marlowe. Maybe - probably - I was spoiled by Bogart's portrayal of the character. The only other actor I've liked in the role is Dick Powell in "Kiss Me Deadly".Richard R.http://brokenbullhorn.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.com
