Farewell, My Lovely
"I need another drink... I need a lot of life insurance... I need a vacation.... and all I've got is a coat, a hat, and a gun!"
Directed by Dick Richards
Produced by E.K., ITC Entertainment
A classic noir detective story steeped in cynicism, corruption, and moral ambiguity, where a world-weary investigator navigates a labyrinth of lies and danger in 1940s Los Angeles.
Private eye Philip Marlowe is hired by ex-con Moose Malloy to find his girlfriend, a former lounge dancer. While also investigating the murder of a client and the theft of a jade necklace, Marlowe becomes entangled with seductress Helen Grayle and discovers a web of dark secrets that are better left hidden.
