Review of The Long Goodbye (1973) by Irvin C — 04 Jan 2014
What a movie! It's at LEAST as good as "Chinatown" but with a bit more laughs. Elliot Gould is fantastic as Raymond Chandler's classic character Phillip Marlowe as he gets sucked into a web involving murder, suicide and adultery.
It has all the twist and turns of a great film noir but with director Robert Altman's trademark humor and focus on character moments rather than a straightforward plot. I would probably rank this as among his very best.
Such a supreme pleasure to watch. Perfect ending too.
