Review of Farewell, My Lovely (1975) by Molly Haskell for Village Voice — 28 Jun 1992
Farewell, My Lovely is a lethargic, vaguely campy tribute to Hollywood's private eye mellers of the 1940s and to writer Raymond Chandler, whose Phillip Marlowe character has inspired a number of features.
Despite an impressive production and some firstrate performances, this third version fails to generate much suspense or excitement.
