Full Plot Details

In the middle of the night, private eye Philip Marlowe drives his friend Terry Lennox to the Mexican border. When Marlowe returns home police are waiting for him and learns that Terry's wife Sylvia has been killed. He's arrested as an accessory but released after a few days and is told the case is closed since Terry Lennox has seemingly committed suicide in Mexico. Marlowe is visited by mobster Marty Augustine who wants to know what happened to the $350,000 Lennox was supposed to deliver for him. Meanwhile, Marlowe is hired by Eileen Wade to find her husband Roger who has a habit of disappearing when he wants to dry out but she can't find him in any any of his usual haunts. He finds him at Dr. Veringer's clinic and brings him. It soon becomes obvious to Marlowe that Terry's death, the Wades and Augustine are all somehow interconnected. Figuring out just what those connections are however will be anything but easy.

Movie Reviews

Pasadena Weekly - 10/10 by John EstherOne of the greatest detective films of all time.
Movie Metropolis - 10/10 by John J. Puccio...may not please Chandler purists, but it is an endlessly fascinating movie in any case.... If it all seems a bit surrealistic, that's the way it's meant to be.
Chicago Tribune - 10/10 by Michael WilmingtonA gloriously inspired tribute to Hollywood that never loses sight of what Los Angeles has become.
Chicago Sun-Times - 10/10 by Roger EbertRobert Altman’s The Long Goodbye attacks film noir with three of his most cherished tools: Whimsy, spontaneity and narrative perversity.
San Francisco Examiner - 10/10 by Rossiter DrakeRobert Altman's labyrinthine take on the Raymond Chandler classic is noir unburdened by a straight narrative - it's a triumph of atmosphere and attitude, a swiftly unfolding whodunit punctuated by subversive absurdities and shattering acts of violence.
Empire - 10/10 by Kim NewmanA subtle criqiue of the main character that contains some astonishing set pieces.
The New York Times - 10/10 by Vincent CanbyIt's great fun and it's funny, but it's a serious, unique work.
The Guardian - 9/10 by Philip FrenchSuperbly photographed by Vilmos Zsigmond in a desaturated colour that echoes a bygone age, The Long Goodbye is an elegant, chilly, deliberately heartless movie.
Austin Chronicle - 9/10 by Marjorie BaumgartenAltman's generalized misanthropy fits uncomfortably with the overall noir universe.
New Yorker - 9/10 by Pauline KaelRaymond Chandler's sentimental foolishness is the taking-off place for Robert Altman's heady, whirling sideshow of a movie, set in the early-seventies L.A. of the stoned sensibility.
