Farewell My Lovely (Murder my Sweet) (1944)Edward Dmytryk, 1944 Film DescriptionChandler's legendary private detective Phillip Marlowe is brought moodily to life in a film that epitomises the very soul of film noir. There’s plenty of sharp, wisecracking dialogue, cynicism, a twisting, complex plot involving bribery, perjury and theft, very little daylight and plenty of shadows, both in lighting and in people’s souls. This was the film that changed Dick Powell’s screen persona from a crooner to a tough guy with his portrayal of Marlowe, a detective hired by Moose Malloy - a petty crook just out of prison after a seven year stretch - to look for his former girlfriend, Velma, who hasn’t been seen for six years.
