Murder, My Sweet, based on the Raymond Chandler novel "Farewell, My Lovely," featured a then controversial choice of Dick Powell to play the famous Philip Marlowe. His name is Philip Marlowe, and for the right price, this private eye will follow an unfaithful husband, find a missing bankroll, or spy on a suspicious neighbor. When he's drawn into a complex web of murder, blackmail and double-dealing, the result is the quintessential film-noir – the one that set the standard for the film noir genre.
