One of my favorite actors from the 1970s, Elliot Gould (MASH, Busting) is breezy as private eye Marlowe in Robert Altman's quirky adaptation of "The Long Goodbye", where a friend's wife's dead, the said friend kills himself, a missing lush writer and a rip-off Jewish mobster are all connected and our gumshoe has to figure it out while dealing with a hungry cat. How cool...
Sterling Hayden (oddly parallel) is the lush here. Henry Gibson (The Blues Brothers) is the head of a rehab clinic. Dave Arkin (Vollmer from MASH) is a dopey goon. Look out for a mustachioed Arnold Schwarzenegger as a tough goon here.
