" To me, Chandler's novel reads like a suicide note.
Altman -- or whoever wrote the screenplay -- seems
to
take that sense of the book and pull it into a
contemporary setting as if to confirm Chandler's
fears. The Long Goodbye isn't Chandler's Marlowe.
It's
the Marlowe that would have been had he lived
now.
It wasn't titled The Long Goodbye for nothing."
Given that Altman worked with many top screenwriters, does
anyone know who actually wrote the script of 'The Long
Goodbye' and if Altman deviated from it ?
