- GoofsWhen Dolores takes Marlowe up to Sonny Steelgrave's mountain retreat to meet Mavis Wald, Dolores' convertible has no rear view mirror. After she drops Marlowe off and leaves, her car has a rear view mirror. [Note: this is a common filming technique to provide better visibility when filming is directed into or out of a vehicle.]

Featured review
Entertaining reincarnation of a classic character
This is a well-done updating of the classic Raymond Chandler character Philip Marlowe, made famous in the film noirs of the 1940s. James Garner stars, in a pre-Rockford Files style, as Marlowe and carries the usual charm and wit for which he's so well known. A standout performance is from Sharon Farrell as the tortured sister. Following on from such films as "The Detective", "Lady in Cement" and "Madigan", this is another fine example of the late 60s example of the lone anti-hero who dwells in a world of corruption and violence. Well-written and acted, and quite funny at times.
