Overview

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.

Viewing Notes

This first person POV is a wild way to shoot this story. Also goes down as Christmas movie by being set during the season (but not really a Christmas movie so I’m not counting for Advent). Not a bad flick bc the characters are good with a great femme fatale in Audrey Totter but hard to get past the novelty of the POV.
