THE LONG GOODBYE (1973) (1055)

Yeah, I gotta tell you, I'm big long time fan of Raymond Chandler and have been since my teen years and I am now 75 years young and still enjoying his creation. I am also a big fan of Old Time Radio Shows and while browsing, I stumbled upon this gem and radio performance which I hope you enjoy as much as I have. As most writers from the mid 20th Century and beyond have gone through various phases, such as from book source- to radio-plays-tv-films and what not.

The Long Good-bye is a novel by Raymond Chandler, published in 1953, his sixth novel featuring the private investigator Philip Marlowe. Some critics consider it inferior to The Big Sleep or Farewell, My Lovely, but others rank it as the best of his work. Chandler, in a letter to a friend, called the novel "my best book".

The novel is notable for using hard-boiled detective fiction as a vehicle for social criticism and for including autobiographical elements from Chandler's life. In 1955, the novel received the Edgar Award for Best Novel. It was later adapted as a 1973 film of the same name, updated to 1970s Los Angeles and starring Elliott Gould.

READ THE BOOK Introduction (englishonlineclub.com)

The Long Goodbye is a 1973 American satirical neo-noir film directed by Robert Altman and written by Leigh Brackett, based on Raymond Chandler's 1953 novel. The film stars Elliott Gould as Philip Marlowe and features Sterling Hayden, Nina Van Pallandt, Jim Bouton, Mark Rydell, and an early, uncredited appearance by Arnold Schwarzenegger.

The story's setting was moved from the 1940s to 1970s Hollywood. The film has been called "a study of a moral and decent man cast adrift in a selfish, self-obsessed society where lives can be thrown away without a backward glance ... and any notions of friendship and loyalty are meaningless." In 2021, the film was selected for preservation in the United States National Film Registry by the Library of Congress as "culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant".

Mike: Was Arnold Swa part in the film just for him to show off his muscles. A little bizarre, wouldn’t you say.
