Review of The Long Goodbye (1973) by Brian R — 17 Dec 2009
The Long Goodbye is a funny film. Robert Altman again usues his famous overlapping dialogue, and seeing characters from a window--The camera is always moving. Altman also has a knack for the way he portrays women in this film.
One very shocking scene is when a gangster Marty Augustine(Mark Rydell) is looking for his money and raids Marlowe's(Elliott Gould) home, gets frustrated, his wife comes in and next thing you know she gets damaged by Augustine's machismo rage.
Elliott Gould is charming as the old private eye and his favourite line "It's OK with me". That's the way how PE films get made done.
