Långt farväl

The Long Goodbye

Many individual sequences are astonishing...

...Elliott Gould is a Marlowe thrust into a story were everybody else knows their roles. He wanders clueless and complaining, and then suddenly understands exactly what he must do.

It's all to make room for Gould's funny, free-associative performance. He mumbles wildly...

...[an] iconoclastic adaptation of the celebrated Raymond Chandler novel.

Gould's persona is an amusing counterpoint to the traditional tough-guy detective who always knew exactly what to say and do and who never ran across a situation he couldn't handle.
