Chandler (1971)

Directed by Paul Magwood
My rating: 1.5 stars out of 4
IMDb
(DVD, Warner Archive Collection)

Warren Oates is fatally miscast as private detective Raymond Chandler. He has zero charisma and sleepwalks through the film. Leslie Caron is not much better, and their on-screen chemistry is less than zero. Add to this a complicated plot, horribly staged fights and one of the worst fake rain scenes in recent memory.
