Chandler's great creation, Philip Marlowe , authentically portrayed by Dick Powell - world-weary but not cynical. Here the tough private eye is asked by the simple-minded 'Moose' Malloy to find his former girlfriend Velma. The search involves him in a lot of trouble, several murders, a terrifying drug
'trip' and plenty of gun-play, before the complicated story is finally resolved.
Screenplay by JOHN PAXTON Based on the novel by RAYMOND CHANDLER
