private eye searches for missing wife in classic film noir., 10 April 2005
9/10
Author: rogerjillings from United Kingdom

Robert Montgomery direct & play Philip Marlowe in this classic film noir where the camera is the eye's of Marlowe through out the film until you see his face later on in brief opening & closing sequences of this clever technique,in this he's searching for a missing wife,he's hired by the wife's husband's secretary the sultry Adrienne Fromsett(Audrey Totter)who he meet's while trying to sell his stories to a magazine establishment.Soon enough the punches fly & the deception begin as he manoeuvre's around to get to the truth where people

aren't what they seem as well as the police who don't like a private eye snooping on their patch & their residents, the movie teems with surprises with the usual gritty dialogue as well as the lowlife & of course the lady in distress.
