Murder, My Sweet
They say crime doesn't pay. Private detective Philip Marlowe (Dick Powell) knows better. The fat wad of folding money warming his breast pocket is the kind of thing that keeps him going through thick and thicker as he wades chin deep into a mystery involving a missing necklace and a missing hoodlum's moll named Velma. Considered one of the quintessential film-noir films, source author Raymond Chandler called Powell his favourite screen Marlowe. With Claire Trevor, Anne Shirley.
