vilero ◊ 2010-05-04 13:29	Filmed in 'subjective-camera' way, the camera shows Phillip Marlowe's view from the first-person in this adaptation of Raymond Chandler's book. You see what Marlowe sees, you are the detective. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0039545/usercomments Except for an explanatory prologue (the necessity for which should have raised red flags) or in scenes where he's caught in a window or mirror, Montgomery's Marlowe remains unseen. We, through the camera lens, are the detective. Conceivably, this gimmick might have worked at a later date, when swift, lithe Steadicams were part of Hollywood's technical arsenal. But in1947, the camera lumbers along as though it were being shoved through wet sand. As a result the pace slows to deadening, as though a senescent Marlowe were tracking down clues from the rail of an aluminum walker. -- Last edit: 2010-05-04 13:38:51
