Raymond Chandlerin tutun dekkarin uudemman filmiversion on ohjannut Robert Altman. Elliot Gould esittää Philip Marlowea, charmikasta mutta kömpelöä yksityisetsivää, joka ajautuu tahtomattaan vaikeudesta toiseen. Hänen ympärillään pyörii joukko epäilyttäviä tyyppejä: kylmäverinen vaalea miestennielijä, hänen juoppo ja lievästi hullu aviomiehensä, huijaripsykiatri, pennitön pummi ja sadistinen gangsteri, joka huvittelee silpomalla toisten kasvoja. Dekkariklassikko on saanut persoonallisen tulkinnan, josta ei puutu ironista huumoriakaan.
