Philip Marlowe - The Long Goodbye

Raymond Chandler's world-weary private eye is drawn into the brutal murder of his drinking buddy's wife. Stars Ed Bishop.

The world-weary private eye helps a friendly drunk conceal a crime.

He's also asked to protect a drunken writer from his own violence.

A murder seems to connect the two cases. And Marlowe almost falls in love.

Raymond Chandler's classic noir novel, first published in 1953.

Starring Ed Bishop.

Powerful and atmospheric full-cast dramatisation by Bill Morrison.
