   Apr 15, 2024 · Robert Altman’s New Hollywood neo-noir “The Long Goodbye” has all the markings of old school film noir - a private eye, a femme fatale, a twisty crime-driven story, seedy characters, and so on.

   Apr 23, 2006 · Robert Altman’s “The Long Goodbye” (1973) attacks film noir with three of his most cherished tools: Whimsy, spontaneity and narrative perversity. He is always the most youthful of directors, and here he gives us the youngest of Philip Marlowes, the private eye as a Hardy boy.

   Some of the improvisational scenes don’t entirely work, but it’s an ambitious and artful reinvention. PG, 112min. Showing at the BFI. Culture. Film. Up there with The Big Sleep as the definitive screen Chandler, this hard-boiled noir from Robert Altman benefits from an inspired era shift.

   Robert Altman’s The Long Goodbye is one of the best films of the 1970s—maybe the best—and one of the most influential. That last part is ironic, in a way Altman would have appreciated, because there’s no way it can be in any legitimate sense true.

   Is the Long Goodbye a good book?

   Is the Long Goodbye a labyrinth?

   • Certainly the plot of “The Long Goodbye” is a labyrinth not easily negotiated. Chandler’s 1953 novel leads Marlowe into a web of deception so complex you could call it arbitrary. The book is not about a story but about the code of a private eye in a corrupt world. It is all about mood, personal style, and language.

   How old was Chandler when he wrote the Long Goodbye?

   • Chandler, who was over 60 when he wrote "The Long Goodbye," clearly understood that the private eye's time was passing, along with too much else he cared about: his wife of 30 years was dying, not quickly. "I wrote it in agony, but I wrote it," he told friends later, and you can feel his agony throughout the book.

   Does Chandler know if a character dies in 'the Long Goodbye'?

   • Chandler’s reply: “I don’t know.” There is a nod to that in “The Long Goodbye” when a character who was murdered in the book commits suicide in the movie. Certainly the plot of “The Long Goodbye” is a labyrinth not easily negotiated. Chandler’s 1953 novel leads Marlowe into a web of deception so complex you could call it arbitrary.
