Marlowe

Five-hundred bucks doesnt come easily for private eye Philip Marlowe (James Garner). But when it comes by way of a bribe, it might as well be five cents. He rejects Winslow Wong (Bruce Lee) and his offer of cash...and Wong promptly karates the detectives office into a junkpile. In a colorful whodunit based on Raymond Chandlers The Little Sister, Garners easygoing style contrasts agreeably with the grim task of sleuthing a case of missing persons, blackmail and ice-pick murders. Carroll OConnor, Rita Moreno, William Daniels, Sharon Farrell and Jackie Coogan are among the cast of characters living in a sprawling 60s L.A. so hard-boiled somebodys got to crack. And when that happens, it's Marlowes job to put the pieces together.
