I like my Marlowes blank... Perhaps Elliot Gould was too
lively, too characterful even, for the role. When imagining
the casting of the Derek Raymond Factory series I always
wanted Denholm Elliott to play the Sergeant, though Ray
Winstone has also been touted. I think Denholm would have
made a great Marlowe too. I suspect he's a character most of
us will identify so strongly with that any casting will jar
with our internal Marlowe (there's a new school of psychiatry
and therapy for you, the Chandler therapy, walk down your own
mean streets etc). My Marlowe is blankish (so Clive's alright
for me) and certainly Anglo-American if not plain British,
ditto. No current screen actor really springs to mind... What
about Nick Cave though, he's pretty darned rumpled. Hey
ho.
