Title: Very good film noir from the forties.
Product review: This tightly constructed thriller marked a change of direction for crooner Dick Powell and he was surprisingly good as private eye Philip Marlowe.Thefilm was also successful in transferring much of Raymond Chandler's sardonic dialogue to the screen. Good performances from Mike Mazurki as the dim-witted giant, Moose Malloy and Otto Kruger as a nasty quack psychiatrist and Claire Trevor as the femme fatale.
