We continue our #Noirvember2018 coverage with the first in a trio of Raymond Chandler adaptations -- Edward Dymytrk’s Murder My Sweet (1944). Based on the second of Chandler's Philip Marlowe (opens in a new tab) novels, Farewell My Lovely, the film stars Dick Powell "as you've never seen him before."

Terry Frost (opens in a new tab) and Eric Cohen (opens in a new tab) join Mike to discuss the 1944 film and the 1976 adaptation. Tom Williams (opens in a new tab), the author of A Mysterious Something in the Light; the Life of Raymond Chandler (opens in a new tab), provides insight on Chandler's career in and out of Hollywood.
