Murder, My Sweet is yet another one in the long line of films featuring Raymond Chandler's character of Phillip Marlowe.

Back Cover Synopsis

"Near perfect, my sweet. Considered one of the quintessential film-noir films."

- THE MOVIE GUIDE

They say crime doesn't pay. Private detective Phillip Marlowe knows better. The fat wad of folding money warming his breast pocket is the kind of thing that keeps him going through thick and thicker as he wades chin deep into a mystery involving a missing necklace and a missing moll's hoodlum named Velma.

Sharply directed by Edward Dymytrk, Murder, My Sweet is film at its most noir, creating a moody sense of the world that never plays on the level. Cast against type, Dick Powell puts sunny crooner roles behind him, dishing hardboiled patter and wearing five-going-on-six o'clock stubble so well that source author Raymond Chandler called Powell his favorite Marlowe. "I'm just a small businessman in a very messy business," the PI observes. With wit and trendsetting style to burn, it's never business as usual.
