So far I have watched the character Marlowe portrayed by Dick Powell in the 1944 American film noir Murder, My Sweet and Humphrey Bogart in the 1946 American film noir The Big Sleep. The film had several changes from the original novel primarily being setting the novel in Christmas time as opposed to mid-summer. Screenplay was written by Steve Fisher, who also was a writer for Black Mask pulp magazine for which Chandler was also a writer. The film was an adaptation of 1943 Raymond Chandler novel The Lady in the Lake featuring his famous private investigator Philip Marlowe.
And soon Marlowe gets pulled into a web of deceit, murder, and greed while the local law enforcement, Captain Kane (portrayed by Tom Tully and Lieutenant DeGarmot (Lloyd Nola), are behind Marlowe at every turn of the plot. Publishing executive Adrienne Fromsett (portrayed by Audrey Totter) hires private investigator Philip Marlowe (portrayed by Robert Montgomery) to find Chrystal Kingsby, wife of her boss, Derace Kingsby (portrayed by Leon Ames).
