I need to put her back up as my default icon.

And yet women all over this movie throw themselves at him, from both Sternwood sisters to the taxi driver who cracks a racy joke that makes Marlowe blink.

Andrew and I sometimes refer to this movie as "Bogart on the Planet of the Babes."

She’s also there for contrast with the dressed-to-kill, not-even-pretending-to-know-about-books Agnes in the previous scene. BTW, anyone else think Marlowe’s disguise (Hmm?) influenced Deckard’s nerdy, sleazy “Investigator for the Confidential Committee on Moral Abuses” in Blade Runner?
