One Great, One Good!
Farewell My Lovely directed by Dick Richards is probably the best Raymond Chandler detective film adaptation IN COLOR!Robert Mitchum in the old Victor Mature suits looks perfectly weary as Philip Marlowe.He is supported by an excellent cast including the ravishing Charlotte Rampling and the frail Jim Thompson.Everything in this film is good, including production design, costume, cinematography and music.This film is 4 stars.The Big Sleep fares less well due to the updating the background to the 70’s England, and free spirited direction by Michael Winner.London looks spic and span and Mitchum wearing gentleman’s suits and driving a topless sports car.It is not serious Chandler but it is fun.This film is 3 stars.Both films’ picture and sound quality are excellent.Good job!

Austere Package, High Class Material
Two grand Chandler films in one place. Little or no side notes, but the two are divergent, contrasting takes on Marlowe with the same lead: Sleep in modern (for its time) setting, Farewell in outstanding period production. The modernization is a little silly in spots (p0rn a lethal blackmail hook in 1970s UK?) but follows the novel closer than Bogey’s back when noire was life. And the noire-revival is just a little too gorgeous at times but follows the wild plot well. To borrow a line, “they’re selling it cheap.”

Interesting films for fans of this character.
Love Robert Mitchum. Love the detective genre. Love the character. Great price for what seems to be hard to find movies.However, Farewell, My Lovely was a great story, but a poorly-directed film. I am baffled by this, given the respect that this particular director has received during his career. First off, the attempt at making a noir-looking film in color is admirable, but in this film, it’s too obvious. I have seen better. Check out Martin Scorsese’ first film “Boxcar Bertha”. I’m not sure if it was meant to be noir, but it conveys mood very well. Second, what happened to the coverage in ALL OF THE SCENES? Coverage is what you use to tell a story in a scene. This movie was edited with ninety-percent MASTERS. While this can be done effectively, this was NOT the case in this film. I liked the plot of this film, but I kept getting pulled out of the mystery because of the mysterious technical problems of the storytelling. Not this director’s finest work. Now, for the second film, “The Big Sleep.” I like the fact that it takes place in England. I love the cast. The plot for this film is simplistic, that’s not the problem. The problem is that the film has no mood. It is not atmospheric. There is no noir to speak of. There is nothing that draws you into this film. But, overall the movie has its’ charms.

Two awesome Marlowe movies
I really like Robert Mitchum as Philip Marlowe, Raymond Chandler’s world-weary, cynical, but incorruptible private detective.These 70’s remakes of 40’s Film Noir treasures, “Murder My Sweet” starring Dick Powell and “The Big Sleep” with Humphrey Bogart.This opinion of mine maybe unpopular with Film Noir purists, but I like these remakes more.In “Farewell My Lovely,” the ugliness of racism and the sex trade are in full view. In “Murder My Sweet,” the earlier version of “…Lovely”, racism isn’t portrayed at all and the sex trade is veiled. What is not so veiled is the dope trade in the 40’s version and the ruthlessness of the femme fatale.In the remake of “The Big Sleep,” Mitchum’s Marlowe is transported from late 1930’s Los Angeles to mid 1970’s London. Again, the story and action are much more graphic than the 40’s version. The ending here is probably less satisfying for noir purists than the Bogart version. But I found it more realistic. I don’t want to elaborate and ruin it for anyone. Let me just say that to purchase this Blu Ray would be a nice addition to any collection. Why? Because of Robert Mitchum, he could be completely believable in any role without it being apparent that he was acting.

DVD unplayable in UK (region2). Deserves nil stars not one, but nil stars not accepted for submission
Aviator –
Both movies are excellent! I like these older movies for many reasons, such as the cast members are not too politically correct as all movies these days have an agenda, nor they full of CGI!

A few problems getting this one, but Amazon took care of the situation accordingly and sent a replacement for the one that didn’t arrive. Now I get to enjoy two back-to-back Robert Mitchum performances as famous detective, ‘Philip Marlowe’!
