Of all the Philip Marlowes, Robert Mitchum's in Farewell, My Lovely resonates most deeply. That's because this is Marlowe past his prime, and Mitchum imbues Raymond Chandler's legendary private detective with a sense of maturity as well as a melancholy spirit. And yet there's plenty of Mitchum's renowned self-deprecating humor and charismatic charm to remind us of his own iconic presence. As in the previous 1944 film version, Murder, My Sweet, Marlowe searches all over L.A. for the elusive girlfriend of ex-con Moose Malloy, a lovable giant who might as well be King Kong. In typical Chandler fashion, the weary Marlowe uncovers a hotbed of lust, corruption, and betrayal. Like Malloy, he's disillusioned by it all, despite his tough exterior, and possesses a tinge of sentimentality for the good old days. About the only current dream he can hold onto is Joe DiMaggio and his fabulous hitting streak. Made in 1975, a year after Chinatown (shot by the same cinematographer, John Alonzo), Farewell, My Lovely is more straightforward and nostalgic, but still possesses a requisite hard-boiled edge, and the best kind of angst the '70s had to offer. (By the way, you'll notice Sylvester Stallone in a rather violent cameo, a year before his Rocky breakthrough.) --Bill Desowitz

I agree with all of you. An utter shame this is not on dvd for the masses. I had only seen the film on regular tv. Then, last night, some movie channel showed it, uncut and in letterbox. There was a scene in a brothel containing female upper nudity and one, full frontal shot! That was certainly cut from the tv version! I want this in my collection also! Certainly is up there with my love for "Chinatown".

The people selling this VHS tape should be prosecuted for fraud. We could barely hear the dialogue due to a constant, loud, and annoying background hum. If it weren't such a hassle I'd try to get my money back. We'll never watch this tape again; not even a movie this great is worth the aggravation. I'm shocked that Amazon sold me this worthless product.

When is this outstanding film going to get the attention it deserves with a legitimate DVD release? For years fans of this movie have had to suffer with these washed out VHS copies. Even with the poor reproduction I still find myself wathching this film often and enjoying it everytime.
If you liked Bogart's "Big Sleep" and other stories of this type then you will be pleasantly surprised with FML. Robert Mitchum does a heck of a job as private eye Philip Marlow taking on his biggest ... Read More

Robert Mitchum, Sylvia Miles, Charlotte Rampling, Harry Dean Stanton, Jack O'Halloran, John Ireland and Sylvester Stallone,among others - what a lineup. Of the entire genre of film noir, tough guy detective films, this one is by far the best. Mitchum is at his all time best, even though he's nearly sixty in this film (a bit old to play Marlowe, in my opinion, but he carries it off with absolute aplomb). He is the quintessential tough guy gumshoe Marlowe (he floors Dick Powell's previous characterization ... Read More

I am now trying to purchase this movie, it looks like I can only get it in used VHS form. (I cant wait any longer for it on DVD, but will definately buy it again when it is available on DVD WS).
But I will forever remember this movie as a young teen, sitting in the theatre, when it first came out in the 1970's. I sat and watched it over and over and over again! I've always loved Robert Mitchum, always loved Film Noir and this Movie has it all. Mitchum was a great actor and this is by far his greatest role, ... Read More
