Movie Reviews of The Long Goodbye
Movie Review: A Unique Goodbye
Summary: 4 Stars
I was late to discover this gem of a movie. I only learned about it a couple of years ago. I am a Philip Marlowe appreciator and have searched out quite a few of the various versions and actors who have played this facinating character. Gould's is one of the most unique versions in this Altman take on Raymond Chandler. Altman brings the best out of this plot of human frailties and shares a glimpse into 70's California using the sleepy eyes of the Rip Van Winkle like Marlowe of Elliot Gould. This is both classic Robert Altman and Philip Marlowe. I highly reccommend it.Movie Review: Oh Great! I'm Gonna Have That Song In My Head All Day!
Summary: 4 Stars
Robert Altman is notorious for having plenty of movement in all his films. This one is no exception. The transplantation to the 70's seems weird, but it's the story that really sets it apart. Raymond Chandler's Philip Marlowe is played with such awkwardness by Gould. I loved his chain smoking, anywhere he can get the chance. Sterling Hayden should have been nominated for an Oscar for this performance. I also got a kick out of seeing Arnold "The Terminator" Schwarzenegger in a non-speaking role.Movie Review: Hard Boiled 70s Style
Summary: 4 Stars
I love Philip Marlow! Robert Altman and Elliott Gould team up to make this adaptation outstanding. This is what cinema is all about. Clever camera angles, strange locations, surperb acting and all draped in a 70s haze, part pot smoke, part porno. Check out a very young "Arnold" as well as Ross' and Rachel's dad when he was the hippest Jew in Hollywood. This is classic noir. Gangsters, molls, drunk writers, bad cops, and Marlow. What these folks did with a convoluted Chandler book is a work of art.Movie Review: Not bad
Summary: 4 Stars
Not an Elliot Gould fan or a Robert Altman one, but this movie is effective as a detective mystery. You may have to watch it a few times to appreciate it. The ending is clever. For another good Phillip Marlowe portrayal, and certainly a different one, see Robert Mitchum in "Farewell My Lovely", released just two years after this.Movie Review: not bad, not bad at all, its worth watching,
Summary: 4 Stars
