Liam Neeson is the latest to shuffle, sweat, and quip as legendarily scruffy detective Philip Marlowe. In honor of his new film, roryhasopinions ranked every Marlowe performance in movies:
Private detective Philip Marlowe is less a person than the physical residue left after something is hard boiled. As author Raymond Chandler said of his most famous creation’s origin, “Marlowe just grew out of the pulps,” so deafening was the contemporary demand for rough-around-the-edges, outside-of-the-law dicks.

In, George gave the superior Montgomery performance as Marlowe, capturing the detective’s intimidating gait and relentless womanizing—which is easier to buy thanks to the actor’s incredible handsomeness. Montgomery suffers from laying on the charm instead of leaning into the gruff cynicism of a hard-boiled dick, and the film even acknowledges how out-of-place he looks as Marlowe, with a wealthy client commenting, “I expected an older man, someone more intelligent looking.
