He’s trying to save her, and she’s trying to save him with neither giving an inch. Rick and Michonne take the term “ride or die” to a whole new level
This right here should’ve been the logline for the show.

#5: The Brasher Doubloon (1947)
This is probably the least well-known of all the Marlowe movies and certainly the hardest one to watch. I finally tracked down a full version on YouTube but it took some effort. That said, I'm really glad I did!
I liked this one a lot more than I thought I would. The plot stays really close to the source novel, The High Window, which I think is one of the more underrated Marlowe novels. Nancy Guild and Florence Bates really carry the movie, which is great to see any time but especially in this period. They’re decently well-rounded female characters with realistic motivations and actions.
George Montgomery’s (another Montgomery!) Marlowe is pretty decent—he balances the cynicism and reluctant hope pretty well, though he’s a bit too snarky and a bit too interested in romance with Guild’s Merle. One of the things that’s so beautiful in the novel is how gentle Marlowe is with Merle and how she feels safe with him in spite of her experiences with men and in spite of what a man like Marlowe seems he should be.
The thing that really knocked my socks off about this one is how important a roll of paper towels is. I had no idea paper towels were a thing in 1946!
Overall movie score: 4/5, this one follows the book plot really well and really is a pretty textbook adaptation of a hardboiled noir
Marlowe score: 3.5/5, I don't love how aggressively he pursues Merle and he's almost a touch too snarky, but he's a good investigator
Perry Mason score: 3/5, it has two supporting actors (Roy Roberts and Marvin Miller) who appeared in a total of 4 episodes
For a reminder of why I started this series and how I’m rating these movies, you can check out my master Marlowe post. I’ll be posting my reviews/rankings of the remaining Marlowe movies using the tag #Marlowe movies so if you’re interested, follow along!

I’ve talked about this with a couple friends but I really think the Anti-Hero video perfectly demonstrates a major theme of the album of continuing down paths she doesn’t want to be on anymore because someone is telling her or she’s telling herself it’s where she should be, and the journey she went on of learning how to say no or turn back or push through to find a path that is truly where she should be

I don’t think people realize this lmao but I am NOT precious about who I ship Armand with.
I got read to filth in the chat the other day: “I love that you’re like my fav Armand ship is Daniel, my wish for him is Louis, but goddamn it I will make Lestat happen!”
There ya have it. 💕
Blorbo is blorbo, and everyone else serves a different purpose in my heart (like they do in Armand’s).
