A good, but not great, remake of a classic film
Admittedly, this remake can’t compare to the original 1946 film starring Humphrey Bogart… but it has a value of it’s own.The 1946 version of the film was very artfully scripted. It had to be, because two underlying themes of the plot (relating to homosexuality and pornography) couldn’t be made explicit, in the original, owing to the sensibilities of the era. This led to the original film’s only flaw: the plot’s incomprehensibility, masked only by the brilliance of the direction and acting.
By 1975, such social restrictions were gone, and the remake, set in England, instead of California, was able to be fully explicit, making the plot understandable for the first time. Robert Mitchum’s subdued and smooth interpretation of Chandler’s Phillip Marlowe was well suited to the script. I think this film is well worth watching, if for little other reason than a clear plot line and Mitchum’s delightful under-acting of the lead role.
