Last week I caught the last 1/2 of this movie on Showtime. That served to remind me that this is a rather enjoyable Phillip Marlow Private Eye flick. So I searched for future showings on FIOS. Jan 4, 2011 at 11:00 pm is next showing.1975
Dir: Dick Richards
Robt. Mitchum
Charlotte Rampling
Silvia Miles
Harry Dean Stanton
Anthony Zerbe
Jack O'Halloran
Sylvester Stallone (bit part as Cat House thug)Rampling kind-of had that Loren Bacall look going for her back then, which either made her just right for the flick, or distracted from it, depending on one's point of view.
Prepare for a walk along the seamier streets of 1941 LA. Very atmospheric.
fwiw. My dvr is set to record.
