![]() ![]() The decade closed with Marlowe (1969), a refreshed look at Raymond Chandler’s arguably greatest creation, updated for the ’60s and portrayed by James Garner, ostensibly auditioning for his future role on The Rockford Files. Early contenders in this neo-noir subgenre include Harper (1966), starring Paul Newman as Ross Macdonald’s eponymous private eye, followed by Frank Sinatra’s back-to-back movies as Miami detective Tony Rome. I’m pleased to address a repeated request from BAMF Style leaders like Brandon and Craig to take a look at Elliott Gould’s scrappy attire as an equally scrappy Philip Marlowe in The Long Goodbye, maverick auteur Robert Altman’s adaptation of Raymond Chandler’s 1953 pulp novel of the same name.Ī generation after the golden age of noir in the 1940s and early ’50s, an unofficial cinematic revival began re-adapting hard-boiled detectives for the silver screen.
