Private eye (Robert Mitchum, pictured) tries to find missing girl-friend (Charlotte Rampling) of ex-convict Moose Malloy (Jack O'Halloran).
Reviewed by Chris Tookey



Not quite up to the Dick Powell version of 1944, and Mitchum finally got to play Philip Marlow too late in life; but his performance, Dick Richards's direction and Chandler's classic one-liners splendidly evoke a mythical Los Angeles of the 1940s. Charlotte Rampling is well cast as the femme fatale. Watch out for Sylvester Stallone as one of the baddies.
