Description
Cast: Elliott Gould, Sterling Hayden, Nina van Pallandt
This funky, witty, and inventive updating of classic film noir is one of director Altman’s finest achievements. Gould plays a completely fresh version of Raymond Chandler’s offbeat private investigator Philip Marlowe. On the trail of the murderer of his best friend’s wife, Marlowe encounters washed-up writers, quack doctors, and a sadistic gangster, each of whom carries a piece of the puzzle. The ending is a stunner!
