Sure, and I suppose next you'll be trying to convince me that
he was once married to Barbra Streisand and that he once
starred in a sitcom called E/R with George Clooney before
Michael Crichton even conceived of the current
identically-titled NBC medical drama.
And who's this Altman guy? You're telling me some guy named
Altman actually made a Marlowe film? Oh, come on! Who wrote
it? Leigh Brackett, the co-scripter of THE BIG SLEEP, I
suppose!
All I have to say is, if Altman and this mysthical Gould
character ever actually did a film version of Chandler's most
ambitious novel, I must have considered it beneath my
notice.
