Movie Reviews of Murder, My Sweet
Movie Review: The singing detective
Summary: 3 Stars
Movie musical crooner Dick Powell tried to darken up his image in this Raymond Chandler adaptation, but some will find him a snippy Philip Marlowe. Regardless, ''Murder'' is a straight shot of noir, thanks to Edward Dmytrk's inspired direction. The DVD looks great -- there's a nice bed of black for all that gray smoke. The look of film noir usually is traced back to German Expressionism; the influence is much in evidence here. About half of the narration comes directly from Chandler's book. Commentator Alain Silver knows his stuff -- he wrote the book ''Raymond Chandler's Los Angeles.'' He points out that only about a dozen true film noir films featured private detectives -- half of them based on Chandler books.
