regrettably and this be one of the bad noir film i have see . robert montgomery a a hard boil philip marlowe . c amon . his accent alone be pathetic . luckily and with the pov technique and we do not have to see him and since he look even less authentic . a for the supposedly wonderful and pungent prose of raymond chandler it laughable . there be so many wonderful noir film double indemnity and out of the past and woman in the window and shadow of a doubt and etc it a shame this be around to drag down the genre . sorry .
