Review of Marlowe (1969) by Senor C — 30 Nov 2011

James Garner would tackle the private dick full force on TV five years after Marlowe w/ The Rockford Files (which in itself is a great show) but here he has an entertaining vehicle that is carried more by charisma on his behalf then the actually script.

That's not a shot @ it but he's better then the material. Everyone is which makes it highly watchable. My rating may be a bit high for it actually but it is pumped up by @ least a half of a star because of the two scenes w/ Bruce Lee.

For him alone it's worth the price of admission. Just fantastic as Lee kicks the living shit out of Garner's office & is going to kung fu the piss out of him on a terrace only to over estimate his skills leaping to his death.

I gave out a sorrow filled sigh when he went. His appearance was masterful.
