Private eye Phillip Marlowe wants to get out of the detective racket and into crime writing. But when he's called to the office of editor Adrienne Fromsett, it's not to talk about his story ideas — she wants him to locate the missing wife of her boss, Mr. Kingsby. The assignment quickly becomes complicated when bodies start turning up.

"This is an interesting experiment that doesn’t really work. It’s a Phillip Marlowe private eye story that is shown completely from a first person POV. The gimmick wears out it’s welcome quickly because actually seeing your lead react to other people in a mystery film is kind of important. Montgomery is a very wooden and awkward Marlowe, especially when compared to the Bogarts and Mitchums of the world. The rest of the cast also falls well below the level of other Chandler adaptations. Only worth the watch if you’re interested in it as a cinematic oddity. 2.5 out of 5 stars."
