<strong>Title:</strong> Murder, My Sweet<br/>
<strong>Year:</strong> 1944<br/>
<strong>Director:</strong> Edward Dmytryk<br/>
<strong>Plot:</strong> One-time movie crooner <a href="/players/P___106959/default.aspx" style='text-decoration:underline'>Dick Powell</a> literally turned his career around in the 1944 film noir Murder My Sweet. Powell stars as Phillip Marlowe,  the hard-boiled private detective antihero created by novelist <a href="/players/P____84666/default.aspx" style='text-decoration:underline'>Raymond Chandler</a>. Hired by hulking, psychotic Moose Malloy (<a href="/players/P____46787/default.aspx" style='text-decoration:underline'>Mike Mazurki</a>) to locate Moose's old girl friend, Marlowe is pitched headlong into a morass of intrigue and deception. The participants include duplicitous glamour-girl <a href="/players/P____71758/default.aspx" style='text-decoration:underline'>Claire Trevor</a>, sodden slattern <a href="/players/P____33477/default.aspx" style='text-decoration:underline'>Esther Howard</a>, suave blackmailer <a href="/players/P____39472/default.aspx" style='text-decoration:underline'>Otto Kruger</a> and dyspeptic doctor <a href="/players/P____30496/default.aspx" style='text-decoration:underline'>Ralf Harolde</a>. At one point, Marlowe is railroaded into a lunatic asylum, where under the influence of drugs he experiences a surrealistic nightmare the like of which would not be seen on screen again until Hitchcock's <a href=/films/36813/default.aspx style='text-decoration:underline'>Vertigo</a> (1958). So fascinating are the "bad" characters in <a href=/films/23610/default.aspx style='text-decoration:underline'>Murder My Sweet</a> that the two 100% "good" characters, heroine <a href="/players/P____65375/default.aspx" style='text-decoration:underline'>Anne Shirley</a> and detective Don Douglas, seem wishy-washy wimps by comparison. After years of insipid golly-gee roles, <a href="/players/P___106959/default.aspx" style='text-decoration:underline'>Dick Powell</a> startled his fans with his cynical, world-weary portrayal of Philip Marlowe. The part put him back on top of the box-office tallies and enabled him to extend his acting career into the 1950s, which led to an even more lucrative "third life" as a powerful TV-studio executive. <a href=/films/23610/default.aspx style='text-decoration:underline'>Murder My Sweet</a> was based on Chandler's Farewell My Lovely, previously filmed in 1942 as The Falcon Takes Over; a remake, also titled Murder My Sweet, was produced in 1975, with <a href="/players/P____49738/default.aspx" style='text-decoration:underline'>Robert Mitchum</a> as Marlowe. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide<br/>

<strong>Body:</strong> [quote user="leeroy711"] [quote user="Risselada"]   I've seen all of these except for Fury, and they are all fantastic!! You MUST see these: Born to Kill Murder, My Sweet Out of the Past And these are also highly recommended and are all listed as film-noir on IMDB (for what it's worth): Sunset Blvd. The Big Sleep White Heat The Night of the Hunter Strangers on a Train The Third Man The Maltese Falcon And if you liked Samuel Fuller's Pickup on South Street you should check out another one of my favorites from him, Shock Corridor. [/quote] Thank you thank you, the only ones of these I've seen were Night of the Hunter, - which had a pretty dark story but I really didn't like that it was all done in a studio. And Third Man was pretty incredible. I haven't seen The Big Sleep, but I have seen The Big Heat (Fritz Lang) which was the one I was actually trying to think of when I mentioned Fury. I think Fury would actually probably be considered pre-noir. I've kinda been on a Sam Fuller kick ever since I watch Shock Corridor earlier this year. I friggin' loved that one. I just got White Dog in the mail the other day but I haven't watched it yet. [/quote] Yeah, if you see any of them, especially one of the first three, I'm excited to hear what you think! Let me know how White Dog goes.<br/>

<strong>Body:</strong> [quote user="leeroy711"] I feel like I've recently re-discovered the noir genre. I just watched The Killing last night and I loved it. As with Fuller's Pickup on South Street. I had previously been a fan of Fritz Lang's older German movies, but now I've seen Fury and I need to see more of his American stuff. And after watching Touch of Evil, I can't understand why Citizen Kane is known as Orson Welle's best work.. I mean c'mon....!!! Charlton Heston just grows a mustache and presto!!! He's a Mexican. You can't beat that!   Anyways what are some of the films I'm missing?? [/quote] I've seen all of these except for Fury, and they are all fantastic!!

<strong>Body:</strong> [quote user="leeroy711"] [quote user="SkyPilot"] [quote user="leeroy711"] Yeah, I still had a good time. Watching bad movies with friends is often more fun than watching good movies. [/quote] I agree completely, man. I think you're hitting on what made me say B movies are perfect movies to "misbehave" to. They're wonderful social movies, and because the movie itself often misbehaves (i.e. Martin Lawrence lying next to a naked corpse in Bad Boys 2), that's like a hammer on my kneecap, and I kick back! On the other hand, regarding good movies: have you guys seen Murder, My Sweet? Every line of dialogue is so choice I wouldn't want to miss any of it! My friends might say some really funny stuff about it, but I'd still prefer it if they shut the *f* up while the movie's playing. [/quote] Tru dat, I tend to try to watch the movies that I'm most interested in seeing by myself. I can understand why most of the public wouldn't appreciate a film like Spirit of the Beehive or The Hole. Where as, I couldn't imagine sitting through Bug without some comic relief (mystery science theature style) from the soundtrack of my friends and family. [/quote] Just a little history on Bad Boys II. Why it is so odd and funny at times is because of who one of the writers is. Jerry stahl is his name and there was a movie done on his life with Ben Stiller in it called Permanent Midnight. The book was better and Stahl has been in the script writing business along time. He actually started out writing porn. If you have ever read Perv-A Love story, then you would understand his very bizarre and off the wall dark humor. Here's a site if your interested http://dir.salon.com/story/books/review/1999/10/19/stahl/ Stahl was writing for CSI the last I knew and if you understand his style, you can pick up on what episodes are his, by the nature of the program. Like the CSI episode about the powerful Vegas mogel that like to be treated like a baby that got killed and that's how they found him on all fours!

I think you're hitting on what made me say B movies are perfect movies to "misbehave" to. They're wonderful social movies, and because the movie itself often misbehaves (i.e. Martin Lawrence lying next to a naked corpse in Bad Boys 2), that's like a hammer on my kneecap, and I kick back! On the other hand, regarding good movies: have you guys seen Murder, My Sweet? Every line of dialogue is so choice I wouldn't want to miss any of it! My friends might say some really funny stuff about it, but I'd still prefer it if they shut the *f* up while the movie's playing. [/quote] Tru dat, I tend to try to watch the movies that I'm most interested in seeing by myself. I can understand why most of the public wouldn't appreciate a film like Spirit of the Beehive or The Hole. Where as, I couldn't imagine sitting through Bug without some comic relief (mystery science theature style) from the soundtrack of my friends and family. [/quote] Just a little history on Bad Boys II. Why it is so odd and funny at times is because of who one of the writers is. Jerry stahl is his name and there was a movie done on his life with Ben Stiller in it called Permanent Midnight. The book was better and Stahl has been in the script writing business along time. He actually started out writing porn. If you have ever read Perv-A Love story, then you would understand his very bizarre and off the wall dark humor. Here's a site if your interested http://dir.salon.com/story/books/review/1999/10/19/stahl/ Stahl was writing for CSI the last I knew and if you understand his style, you can pick up on what episodes are his, by the nature of the program. Like the CSI episode about the powerful Vegas mogel that like to be treated like a baby that got killed and that's how they found him on all fours! Or the part in Bad Boys II when Martin Lawrence is in the attic and the two mice are having sex. Things like that..</spout:body></item>

New developments in the case of an artist arrested for bioterrorism (from the doc Strange Culture), lead us into a web of noir (Murder, My Sweet) and an unexpected look at No Country for Old Men. All of which reveal the sinister culture of PARANOIA!
