Mike Lisk AKA AP Mike of The Best Show and co-host of his own Egg Foo What?! podcast takes us INTO THE MARLOWEVERSE with a pair of very different portrayals of Raymond Chandler's cynical gumshoe Philip Marlowe. 

Mike's choice, MURDER MY SWEET (1944), is one of the first examples of film noir, and its success--along with DOUBLE INDEMNITY from the same year--added the spark that set off late 40s film noir explosion. It's also a way stoney and a total gateway drug to classic cinema with its snappy dialog and its trippy AF hallucination sequences. Former song-and-dance man Dick Powell plays Marlowe in this one, and he handles Chandler's dialog with a sense of cartoon humor that makes this one stand out. Directed by Edward Dmytryk (one of the Hollywood 10) with a script by John Paxton, the writer of several classic noirs (CROSSFIRE, CORNERED), and the uncle of crime fiction comic book writer Ed Brubaker (it runs in the family). Also starring noir ice queen Claire Trevor and ex-pro wrestler and Mike Mazurki. Available on disc at your local library and online via Archive: https://archive.org/details/murder-my-sweet-1944 

Our next interpretation of Marlowe comes three years later while film noir was in full swing. Like Dick Powell before him, Robert Montgomery used his portrayal of Marlowe to shed his nice guy image, only he did it while barely being seen onscreen! As director and star of LADY IN THE LAKE (1947), Montgomery shot the entire film from Marlowe's jaundiced point-of-view. We only see the private eye when he's looking at himself in the mirror, making it one of the strangest films every made. While Mike and the OMFYS crew can't quite agree on if this cinematic experiment is successful or not, they all think that Montgomery put the dick in private dick as he is the surliest of the movie Marlowes. This is really saying something when you consider that Humphrey Bogart, Elliott Gould, Robert Mitchum and growly-assed Liam Neeson have all taken turns as the detective, and none of them are Mr. Sunshine. With Audrey Totter as the femme fatale, and Lloyd Nolan as a tough-talking cop who might not be on the up-and-up. Streaming on Criterion Channel. 

In the opening discussion, Mike and your hosts stay on topic and talk about their favorite movie Marlowes, and Cory and Bob give us a Noir City 21 report.

Down To Earth

Lyrics:

Power and power inside of me

I know you can't fight it eve

but you don't have to worry

I won't kill you silently

I won't make you die for me

what would the point violence be

I want to this to you

a vision here, a poem too

This is the end of the world12

You know how we do it girl

So throw your hands up and get on the dancn e floor

Traveling through the darkest worlds

You know what we're saying for,

We're living in different worlds.

I like the way you move your body

We got to go and put down the words

You outta two different worlds

I like it when the beat goes first

You know we're running all over e

and you know I stay down to earth

and I know you light up the stars

A book of poems and songs

to document a journey ours

About a period in which

No matter what I do I wil get rich

In the first edition of this

I hope I don't sing out of pitch

That it is composed of a wish

Beautiful and true and true

As a matter of fact to

the latter half is that I'd knew

we'd never make it two act two

but I was  wrong and delta nine is true

Expressed in a poem by a friend

Beauty is an image of the truth

A vision of the beautiful

In the land of the truth

Written in the pages of a

And admiration to the wisdom of truth

A poem to be written

I saw seven horses move

Nearly the same as his poetry

Whereupon the genius of the news

Written for a few years

Which published with a public service on the positive root

Is not to be denied

It is long since so rude

The second and third stanza

Perhaps more subdued with the supreme estimate of the duke

Of a modern military group

At the time of the prologue

A poem above the duke

In the way of the poet

The second and third stanza

Perhaps more subdued with the supreme estimate of the duke

Which published with a public service on the positive root

Down To Earth

Heartfelt love message for your partner, the love of your life, the one you love dearest.
