The gimmick often feels pretentious and obnoxious, but it's a testament to Raymond Chandler's story that the film delivers intrigue.

The subjective POV gimmick eventually grows a bit tired, and it does nothing from a narrative standpoint to re-shape the film noir genre because it was so focused on camera movement. Still an enjoyable film, with punchy enough dialog to keep me engaged.

a flawed yet hypnotizing and captivating experiment, quite certainly worth watching. even though it's a solid 3/5, the film appeals to me as some sort of bizzaro classic that should be viewed by any fan of noir.

o experimento 'noir' de montgomery, filmar uma história sob a perspectiva do protagonista (câmera subjetiva), vale como desafio ao modelo onsiciente dominante na narrativa audiovisual. faz pensar também sobre o que está por vir com a interatividade prevista para a tv digital, quando o espectador será tão ativo, chamado a atuar, quanto o espectador de 'a dama do lago'.

"Later, when I was around 23, I watched Lady In The Lake on mushrooms. It's a film shot entirely from the point of view of the main character and, under the effect of the psilocybin, I was transported into the TV and into Marlowe's head, even though the film was in black and white and subtitled." - Gaspar Noé

The 1st person camera does not work and is gimmicky yet the film somehow still draws you in. This is done by what little is left of Chandler's novel. Terrible and you'll feel the same after sitting through it.

Though the fist person point of view may be an annoying gimmick that slows down the plot, it's an interesting excercise with some sequences full of oppresive atmosphere and suspense, for instance when Marlowe discovers the body; also the car chase and the ending.
