Hi, This is my first post, I've been lurking for a few
months. I think Keitel would make an extremely awkward
Marlowe. Keitel's style of speaking is slow and measured.
Marlowe deals out snappy, wisecracking one-liners. Also,
Marlowe's character is flippant on the surface, but with
deeper "issues" going on within. Keitel plays his parts with
almost excruciating sincerity and earnestness; I can't see
him delivering a performance as a flippant wise-ass.
