On August 8, 1975 "Farewell, My
Lovely" premiered. Directed by Dick Richards, the film is based on
Raymond Chandler's novel "Farewell, My Lovely" (1940), which had
previously been adapted for film as "The Falcon Takes Over"
(1942) and “Murder, My Sweet” (1944). Main stars were
Robert Mitchum as detective Philip
Marlowe and Charlotte Rampling as Helen Grayle. Mitchum would return
to the role of Marlowe three years later in a 1978 remake of The Big
Sleep.
Synopsis

hired by Moose Malloy (Jack O'Halloran) to locate his former girl
friend Velma, a former dancer at a nightclub. Marlowe finds that once
he has taken the case, events put him in dangerous situations, and he
is forced to follow a trail of double-crosses before he is able to
locate Velma...
