An excellent Marlowe - a very strong plot, some memorable locations (the woody resort, the environs of Bay City), some decent characters (a corrupt cop, a ruthless femme fetale who I wish hadn't died, a local copper), some great scenes (discovery of the lake in the lake, Marlow being smacked around, the death of the corrupt cop).
Maybe the lack of an extra classic character or two is what holds it back from being Farewell My Lovely or The Big Sleep.
