David Thompson on Robert Altman A featurette (approx

Altman famously referred to his version of private eye Philip Marlowe as "Rip Van Marlowe"—a man who had woken from a decades-long sleep into the cynical, post-60s landscape of Los Angeles. Instead of Humphrey Bogart's tough, honorable detective, Altman cast Elliott Gould as a disheveled, mumbling, and perpetually confused Marlowe who lives in a world of naked yoga practitioners, gourmet cats, and overlapping, naturalistic dialogue. The film was a commercial disappointment, but over the years, it grew in stature, celebrated for its offbeat mood, brilliant jazz score by a young John Williams, and an unforgettable, controversial ending that subverts the entire moral code of the noir genre.

Concise recommendation

Rip Van Marlowe: An essential documentary featuring Elliott Gould and Robert Altman. Gould discusses how he played Marlowe as a man "out of time," a 1940s moralist trapped in a decade that has moved past him.

A dedicated interview with Gould, who discusses his approach to playing a "lazy" 1970s version of a classic 1940s detective. 4. Radio Spots: A collection of 1973 radio promos. Theatrical Trailer: The original 1973 theatrical trailer. Based on a new 4K restoration : Reflections

– A short EPK piece with Altman looking bored and Gould chain-smoking. Cheesy but charming.
