Description

Murder, My Sweet, based on the Raymond Chandler novel "Farewell, My Lovely," featured a then controversial choice of Dick Powell to play the famous Philip Marlowe. His name is Philip Marlowe, and for the right price, this private eye will follow an unfaithful husband, find a missing bankroll, or spy on a suspicious neighbor. When he's drawn into a complex web of murder, blackmail and double-dealing, the result is the quintessential film-noir – the one that set the standard for the film noir genre.

  • Disappointing.

    I was quite disappointed with this movie. I have nothing against Dick Powell's acting but he was the wrong choice for the lead. He can't quite carry off the quick wit or quick thinking; he comes off as weak and very uninteresting and he doesn't have the physical looks for the gritty role.
  • Among the better of the 40s!

    I’d give this a 31/2 stars if available. This is among the better noir movies of the 40s, principally due to the writing, dialogue of Raymond Chandler, and a good cast. Acting was natural, convincing, unlike many others of this genre of the period. I was never bored.
  • Amazing

    Watched this movie on TCM one night and I loved it. Such an amazing movie and I never saw the twist coming at the end. Definitely a Classic!!
