To Mitchum, fame was a job and any man who chased fame for its own sake, or for the wealth he thought it would bring him, was an idiot.

Mitchum played detectives in the 40s, it was classic. When he played Philip Marlowe in this remake set in the 40s. Mitchum's face had a lived-in look, its weariness fit the role. His character's sleepy look wins our compliments.
