Farewell, My Lovely (1975)


(SLWB - February 12, 2013)

Here are some screen caps from "Farewell My Lovely" side by side with
me playing around with how it may have looked in B&W this 
really needs a  re-release:

Marlowe's (Mitchum) opening monologue in a room at the 

Casa Miarabell Hotel, this version is told in flashback for probably 4/5 of the total:



A B&W rendition. 



Florian's



Moose Malloy



Jessie Florian flashing her pins for Marlowe




Jessi & Marlowe boozing it up (notice some restraint shown - no noir barred shadows through the venetian blinds)





Femme Fatale (Charlotte Rampling) has a vague Bacall look about her.


Green eyes to match the jade necklace that would be sacrificed in B&W below.
