Robert Altman's quirky, semi-satiric updating of Raymond Chandler stars Elliott Gould as laid-back gumshoe Philip Marlowe. What starts as an investigation into the murder of his friend's wife leads Marlowe into a complex web of intrigue involving an apparent suicide, a gangster looking to recover the money he's owed, a missing alcoholic writer, and a deceptive woman. With Sterling Hayden, Nina van Pallandt, Jim Bouton, Henry Gibson; look for a young Arnold Schwarzenegger. 112 min.
