Farewell, My Lovely
Directed by Dick Richards
- Paul KalkhofNovember 20, 2025Solid adaptation and great performances all around. Mitchum delivers a great performance which doubles as commentary about a man who is facing obsolescence in a world that no longer made sense to him. Great tough guy dialog and fabulous one liners. This movie bathes in a stark cynicism like the neon lit streets.
