Murder, My Sweet is a 1944 American film noir, directed by Edward Dmytry, notable as the screen debut of author Raymond Chandler’s hard-boiled, world-weary detective Philip Marlowe.
It was based on Chandler’s 1940 novel Farewell, My Lovely.
Starring Dick Powell, Claire Trevor and Anne Shirley.
Philip Marlowe (Dick Powell) is hired by the oafish Moose Malloy (Mike Mazurki) to track down his formergirlfriend. He's also hired to accompany an effeminate
playboy buy back some jewels. When the exchange results in the playboy's murder, Marlowe can't leave the case alone and soon
discovers it's related to Malloy's. Ahe gets drawn deeper into a complex web of intrigue by a mysterious blonde (Claire Trevor), the detective finds his own life in increasing jeopardy. .
The film is laden with classic film noir features—moody black-and-white cinematography, shadows galore, two-timing women, and plenty of plot twists—and it retains the first-person narrative, snappy dialogue, and droll asides characteristic of Chandler’s famed detective.
