LADY IN THE LAKE 1947 (TCM VIEWING)

This is another classic film noir with a very different look.

Robert Montgomery stars as Phillip Marlowe. This time Marlow is on the case of a woman found drowned in a lake deep in the woods.

Audrey Totter is the femme fatal that attracts the attention of Marlowe. The case becomes more complicated as more bodies start to pile up during the investigation.

The difference with this film noir is that it is shot entirely thru the eyes of Marlowe and this adds an even more bizarre twist to the proceedings. Marlowe's face is only shown when he is narrating the film or looking at his reflection in the mirror.

The supporting cast includes Lloyd Nolan as a crooked cop, Leon Ames, Jayne meadows, Morris Ankrum and Lila Leeds. If you love film noir, I would recommend this film to you with the highest regards.
