great pace.
Dick Powell, who'd built a career as a nice song-and-dance guy, broke out in the role of private dick Phillip Marlowe. Edward Dmytryk, a first-category Hollywood drama director, helms the story of a private eye that's hired to safeguard an exchange that miserably, and violently, fails. From then on, Marlowe's on a mission to make amends, to restore his personal sense of honor.
The femme fatale is mesmerizingly played by Claire Trevor; child super-star Anne Shirley, as the innocent and trusting ingenue, provides the necessary contrast.
Many thought that Powell was miscast; however, very quickly he shows that you needn't look like a thug to be tough: he convincingly portrays a man who lives by a code that skirts the wrong side of the law. If you enjoy the genre, there are several character actors you'll recognize as old friends, though dangerous ones at that.
