Probably Mitchum's best late career performance

Painfully bad. Mitchum as Marlowe is probably the best casting move ever done in Hollywood, but sadly thirty years too late. This film deviates enough from Chandler's novel to fall into a kind of lull that it never recovers from. I always thought the look was trying to copy Chinatown, and now I see that it had the same cinematographer. The idea and thought is there, but Chandler requires a different way of thinking.
