I just always pictured Robert Mitchum or John Payne as
Marlowe. Mitchum was terrific in FAREWELL MY LOVELY when he
got around to playing him in the 70s, he was just too old by
then. Imagine if he'd started playing Marlowe the same year
he made OUT OF THE PAST.
All the Best-

Juri,
I thought I was the only one who thought this
about that scene with
Dick Powell. :-)
As much as I like Cary Grant, I just never
picture him as Marlowe.
He's just too cleancut for me.
