Review of The Long Goodbye (1973) by Bill F — 06 Mar 2006
Raymond Chandler's cynically idealistic hero, Philip Marlowe, has been played by everyone from Humphrey Bogart to James Garner--but no one gives him the kind of weirdly affect-less spin that Elliott Gould does in this terrific Robert Altman reimagining of Chandler's penultimate novel.
Altman recasts Marlowe as an early '70s L.A. habitué, who gets involved in a couple of cases at once.
