A PI novel about a tired old guy who can't give it up --
especially since his wife is loaded with dough. (Yeah and
written by a tired old guy and a guy who was a hot ticket at
the time, and still is.)
The book was tired, the movie even more tired, but don't you
think Paul Newman could have done a hell of a job as Marlowe
the elder.
Nobody plays dynamic old guys like Newman--because he knows
he's old and doesn't try to play it older.
