"In FAREWELL, MY LOVELY, Marlowe is spotted by bank robber Moose Malloy (former boxer O'Halloran in his celluloid debut), who is freshly out of the joint and eager to find his old girlfriend Velma, so he hires Marlowe. Not deterred by the fact that someone obviously wants to rub out Malloy (hiding from bullets on the street when they first meet), Marlowe tracks down the breadcrumb trail with enough phlegm, even when he is abducted and drugged by the notorious madam Frances Amthor (a formidable Murtagh), a trippy paroxysm of hallucinations displays Richards and DP John A. Alonzo's prestidigitation."
