Robert Mitchum, Charlotte Rampling
Interesting curio from 1976. The filmmakers attempted to reproduce the tone and look of a Raymond Chandler novel set in the 40's. They got the look right but this material is badly dated at this point and brought to life on screen makes it look and sound ridiculous.
The toughguy PI was an artifice of its time and watching one now makes this very evident. RM was a good choice for lead but he couldn't make it work. CR was gorgeous at that point but I never bought her femme fatale or, really, any of this.
Historical value only.
