lady in the lake ( negative ) phillip marlowe movie marry u to the detective point of view . he be in every scene and and we never see what happen behind his back . the lady in the lake take this one step far . here the camera itself be marlowe . the majority of the movie be marlowe p. o. v. the camera shake when he get slap around and and our eye close when he kiss the girl . no stedicam and of course and so the camerawork be pretty stiff and but not nearly as stiff a the acting . the raymond chandler plot be as good a you might expect and and i allow myself to accept the gimmick while however and the acting be bad than i have ever see in any a movie of the studio system . beyond horrible . do the actor feel silly talk to the camera . lila leeds be stun in her brief turn a a receptionist . if i have to be bust with pot and like robert mitchum and i would do the perp walk with her any night .
