Robert Altman's 1973 film The Long Goodbye (Il lungo addio) is a revisionist neo-noir that recontextualizes Raymond Chandler’s Philip Marlowe within 1970s Hollywood, utilizing an improvisational, "mumbly" style. The film, featuring a desaturated look and a recurring theme song, follows a loyal, out-of-place Marlowe navigating moral decay in a sun-drenched California. For a detailed plot summary, visit IMDb .
