Viewing Notes

Interesting watching this after having recently watched the ‘70s-era take on this, FAREWELL, MY LOVELY. This is a fun film, though I think I prefer the twistiness and darker cynicism of the ‘70s version.

The ending on this is tacky and out-of-place and yet somehow still fun and endearing.
