Lady in the lake
11 June 2006An entertaining Philip Marlowe movie based on Raymond Chandler’s novel, starring and directed by Robert Montgomery. The directing has an interesting take in that that the entire film is seen from the viewpoint of Philip Marlowe so that the audience would see only what Marlowe sees.
In this inventively filmed detective story, Robert Montgomery (who also directs) plays Philip Marlowe and solves an entire mystery from the camera’s point of view; when Marlowe takes a punch, the audience feels the hit. Based on Raymond Chandler’s novel, the story follows Marlowe as he tries to track down the missing wife of a publisher. Audrey Totter plays the femme fatale who slinks into his office to hire him for the job.
Here is a list of external reviews for the movie.
