Review of Murder, My Sweet (1944) by Tom H — 06 Mar 2011
Dick Powell`s portrayal of the legendary screen detective "Philip Marlowe" is a stand alone achievement in making the character his own. Just his facial expressions while listening to someone else talk is amusing and keeps you focused on this interesting character. "Murder, My Sweet" is a underrated masterpiece formed from the brilliant mind of Edward Dmytryk.
This is truly one of the best film-noirs out there. It has passed the test of time, and I guarantee it will keep doing so in the future. The character "moose" , this big intimidating guy is just a creepy dimwitted type and is in fact one of the most scary characters I have seen from that era. like a big Frankenstein who could crush you with his huge bare hands. Well I said enough, but I highly and intensely recommend this classic film.
