The Long Goodbye Review

Review of The Long Goodbye (1973) by screenqueeen: 👍 4.5/5

Burnt out Marlowe is such a great touch and Gould makes him such a relatable sourpuss. Procedural songs and dances cease to carry meaning for him anymore and anything he says or does goes largely unnoticed. If anyone does notice they simply don't care. Pumps tinsel town's favorite detective full of physical comedy. Waves the gun towards Hollywood and goes out on Hooray for Hollywood (written by Johnny Mercer, who cowrote the theme for the film with John Williams).
