Classic Noir submitted by kencza on June 26, 2021, 10:49pm This is Raymond Chandler at is best! Interesting characters, plenty of plot twists, and all the other ingredients for a great noir mystery/thriller. Philip Marlowe is a character made for Bogey to portray.....tough, intuitive, and a ladies man without equal. This story is a bit difficult to follow at times but stick with it and you will come out on the other side fully entertained and satisfied that you have experienced something quite extraordinary.
