VHS Movie Reviews of Farewell My Lovely [VHS]
Movie Review: Reminded me why I love NOIR!
Summary: 5 Stars
I agree with all of you. An utter shame this is not on dvd for the masses. I had only seen the film on regular tv. Then, last night, some movie channel showed it, uncut and in letterbox. There was a scene in a brothel containing female upper nudity and one, full frontal shot! That was certainly cut from the tv version! I want this in my collection also! Certainly is up there with my love for "Chinatown".
Summary of Farewell My Lovely [VHS]
Of all the Philip Marlowes, Robert Mitchum's in Farewell, My Lovely resonates most deeply. That's because this is Marlowe past his prime, and Mitchum imbues Raymond Chandler's legendary private detective with a sense of maturity as well as a melancholy spirit. And yet there's plenty of Mitchum's renowned self-deprecating humor and charismatic charm to remind us of his own iconic presence. As in the previous 1944 film version, Murder, My Sweet, Marlowe searches all over L.A. for the elusive girlfriend of ex-con Moose Malloy, a lovable giant who might as well be King Kong. In typical Chandler fashion, the weary Marlowe uncovers a hotbed of lust, corruption, and betrayal. Like Malloy, he's disillusioned by it all, despite his tough exterior, and possesses a tinge of sentimentality for the good old days. About the only current dream he can hold onto is Joe DiMaggio and his fabulous hitting streak. Made in 1975, a year after Chinatown (shot by the same cinematographer, John Alonzo), Farewell, My Lovely is more straightforward and nostalgic, but still possesses a requisite hard-boiled edge, and the best kind of angst the '70s had to offer. (By the way, you'll notice Sylvester Stallone in a rather violent cameo, a year before his Rocky breakthrough.) --Bill DesowitzDrama VHS Video
