Director Robert Altman was at his all time best here, directing the then "hot" Elliot Gould. Small-time Private Eye, Marlowe, tracks down a missing persons case in modern day Los Angeles. Altman's revisionist take on the old Raymond Chandler mysteries is both funny and very well done. Lots of cameos, and excellent music score. Altman followed this with the excellent "California Split" (with Gould again) and the dream-like "3 Women".
