The film's adaptation from the novel was a challenging task, given the complexity of Chandler's writing and the distinctive voice of Marlowe. However, Altman and his co-writer, John Kathleen Simon, successfully translated the novel's themes and characters to the screen, capturing the essence of Marlowe's world and the moral ambiguity that defines it. Elliott Gould's portrayal of Marlowe is particularly noteworthy, bringing a sense of vulnerability and wit to the character that is both faithful to the novel and freshly cinematic.
