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.

SPRITE SPOKE TO US

Why wait for someone to love you when maybe they don't have what it takes? You'll waste your life waiting for the people you EXPECT to love you how you love them! FAMILY will do you worse than strangers and that's SAD ASF!  This can cause you to question yourself and ask yourself are you even worthy of love? It have you feeling empty and have lack of confidence for yourself. Apparently you can see I'm comfortable sharing my life experiences as I go through them. Sometimes it don't even matter who listens, as long as I'm being heard!
