I'm probably in the minority here, but my favorite Marlowe
movie is "A Long Goodbye". Probably because of Sterling
Hayden's terrific performance.

MARLOWE's non-noir look is why it is my text-book example of
"hard-boiled but not noir" while MURDER, MY SWEET, featuring
the same character, is my text-book example of "both
hard-boiled and noir."
Like I always say, hard-boiled is about attitude; noir's
about atmosphere.
By the way, MURDER MY SWEET is the best Marlowe movie, and
Powell the best Marlowe. Glad THAT's settled.
