Farewell, My Lovely , 1975

Farewell, My Lovely (1975) directed by Dick Richards is a film adaptation of Raymond Chandler’s 1940 crime novel by the same name. Raymond Chandler wrote many crime novels that were adapted into film noir and neo-noir films, including The Big Sleep (1946.)

Philip Marlowe's about to give up on a completely routine case when he is hired by paroled convict Moose Malloy to find his girlfriend Velma, former seedy nightclub dancer.
Then he finds himself in the wrong place at the right time to get caught up in a murder that leads to a ring of jewel thieves, another murder, a fortune-teller, a couple more murders, and more corruption than your average graveyard.

Marlowe embroiling the hard-boiled gumshoe in a plot which involves blackmail, murder, drugs and double cross.

The femme fatale of this story is Helen Grayle, the wife of a wealthy judge. Grayle, played by white actress Charlotte Rampling,is not the main character of this film but seems to be the key driving force for most of the crime committed in the film.
