From Humphrey Bogart to Liam Neeson, many actors have brought Raymond Chandler's hard-boiled detective Philip Marlowe to the silver screen.
It's been 45 years since anyone watched Philip Marlowe solve crimes in a movie, and now Neil Jordan's Marlowe places Liam Neeson among a unique cohort of actors who have played the famous literary detective, from the Golden Age of Hollywood to the gritty '70s. Raymond Chandler's Philip Marlowe is considered one of the most well-known antiheroes in crime fiction, beginning with the hard-boiled variety that rose to prominence in the '20s.
6 Humphrey Bogart in “The Big Sleep” Humphrey Bogart stars as Marlowe in one of the most famous film noir movies of all time, The Big Sleep, based on Chandler's 1939 novel of the same name. Marlowe is hired by General Sternwood to help his daughter Carmen with her debts but is soon pulled into a complicated mystery involving her older sister Vivian , casino owner , and murder.
4 James Garner in “Marlowe” James Garner portrays the famous gumshoe in Marlowe, based on Chandler's 1949 novel The Little Sister. Garner is certainly capable at the action sequences, but his Marlowe is a little too much like Benoit Blanc and 007. When a mysterious woman hires him to uncover the truth behind her brother's disappearance, his steps are trailed by a masked menace and interspersed with blackmail and grisly ice-pick murders.
