⁂ The Hollywood novel was adapted for the film Marlowe (1969) starring James Garner. "In its complications of family, organized crime, and Hollywood, it achieves a panorama of the modern condition which is new for Chandler. And in its discovery of ways to demonstrate Marlowe's connection with the human weaknesses on which the story turns, it provides new insight into his central character" (Marling, p. 131).
