Murder_My_Sweet.jpgMurder, My Sweet
(1944): Hungry for clients, private dick Philip Marlowe (Dick Powell) gets tangled up in two seemingly disconnected investigations. Based on Chandler's Farewell, My Lovely.

You won't find harder-boiled flashback narration. To wit:

I just found out all over again how big this city is. My feet hurt. And my mind felt like a plumber's handkerchief.

I don't get the simile either; but the phrase sounds oh-so-noirishly right.
