I think if Robert Mitchum had played Marlowe at thirty-five
he would be the preeminent Marlowe, but alas, we'll never
know.
I think THE BIG SLEEP is a freat movie and that Bogart put in
a stellar performance. I just don't think he was a good
Marlowe.
Here's where I go out on a limb. I think the actor who
captured Marlowe best (or my image of Marlowe) was Powers
Booth in the HBO series from the early eighties.
