Juri,
Re your comment below:
"As for Cary Grant, I've been thinking about that for almost
20 years. (I read Chandler's letters while still 17 or 18.)
It's a pretty hard image, but I think Grant could've pulled
it off. He just couldn't have been so suave as he usually
was. Hey, James Stewart is a pretty tough noir guy in Anthony
Mann's westerns, and look at him in Capra's films."
You want to get an idea how Grant might have pulled off
Marlowe (and of all the actors who played him, I think Powell
is the closest to a Grant-as-Marlowe portrayal), see him as
the FBI agent with the yen for undercover gal Ingrid Bergman
in Hitchcock's NOTORIOUS.
