Title: Worst Movie Ever?
Product review: This may be considered a classic today, but as far as I'm concerned, it's as bad as it was in the 70's when it flopped. First of all, I bought it because I'm reading Chandler's book and wanted to see his cool dialogue spoken on the screen. The movie had almost none of Chandler's unique, special dialogue: no similes, no quips, no short talk. The plot only thinly followed the book and left out the best parts. The movie was so dark (dimly lit) that you could hardly see what was happening most of the time and not at all some of the time. The speaking was muted and garbled so you couldn't follow the dialogue. Call me a low-brow, but I thought it was awful. A tremendous disappointment. It should be called something else so that people wanted to see Chandler's book on film wouldn't be so easily taken in by it.
