We wrap up #Noirvember and our Philip Marlowe journey for the year with Robert Altman's The Long Goodbye (1973). Adapted by Leigh Brackett, one of the two main writers from Howard Hawks’s The Big Sleep, the film stars Elliott Gould as Philip Marlowe, a man now out of time with the world.
Eric Cohen and Terry Frost join Mike to discuss Philip Marlowe's place in the now and the Japanese mini-series of The Long Goodbye.

Great podcast, loved the interview especially. I thought the Rockford Files is as you say somewhat similar too, two dysfunctional single PIs!
ReplyDeleteThis is the episode that made me fall in love with this podcast. Definitely the best cinema podcast out there. I'm always looking for an excuse to go on a long drive so I can listen and learn so many new things about my favourite films. Just finished listening to The Piano Teacher episode and it really opened my mind up to some new ways of looking at that film, can't wait to re-watch it!
