Critic Reviews for Farewell, My Lovely
All Critics (22) | Top Critics (5) | Fresh (16) | Rotten (6)
Watching this movie has approximately the same effect as being locked overnight in a secondhand clothing store in Pasadena. There is an awful lot of dust and, after a while, the dummies look as if they are moving.
Despite an impressive production and some firstrate performances, this third version fails to generate much suspense or excitement.
The film's triumph is Mitchum's definitive Marlowe, which captures perfectly the character's down-at-heel integrity and erratic emotional involvement with his cases.
It's as if someone had put pillow springs, power-steering and a tape deck into a classic racing-car. It is still handsome and it still goes, but it is a handsome mediocrity.
Farewell, My Lovely is a great entertainment and a celebration of Robert Mitchum's absolute originality.
The Dick Powell version of this story is still the definitive one. "Murder My Sweet" (1944) it was called, and it still crackles, while this version never manages more than a creak.
