MGM
Directed by Robert Montgomery
My rating: 2 stars out of 4
IMDb
(DVD, Warner Bros)
Point-of-view gimmick is utilized the entire film, but unfortunately adds little. Robert Montgomery is the famous Raymond Chandler detective Phillip Marlowe. He is hired to find a missing woman, but instead finds a trail of dead bodies. He falls in love with the girl who hires him, or maybe she falls in love with him, but she might also be the killer. Lloyd Nolan is a bad cop and Jayne Meadows another shady character. The mystery unravels in a flurry of secret identities, an easy way out and difficult for the viewer to solve.
