Lady in the Lake
TCM, 4:30pm
Catch a Classic!
Robert Montgomery plays Raymond Chandler’s famous private investigator Philip Marlowe (although the character’s first name is spelled with two l’s here, for some reason) in this 1947 film noir adaptation of Chandler’s 1943 novel, The Lady in the Lake. Montgomery also directed the film, and he brought an interesting creative touch to it: Marlowe is mostly (aside from a couple of reflections) unseen by the audience; the tale is told via his first-person point of view, with the camera seeing what he does. Coupled with the fact that the film has almost no instrumental soundtrack, this production was especially unique for, and certainly ahead of, its time. The technique is mostly pulled off well, although it does take some getting used to. More confusing is the convoluted mystery plot, but that kind of comes with the territory with Chandler. Costarring with Montgomery are Audrey Totter, Lloyd Nolan and Tom Tully.
