Anecdotes
This is one of only two films which Bruce Lee acted in where he spoke with his own voice (the other being Opération Dragon (1973)). This is also the only film in which Lee played a villain.

Gaffes
In his limousine, Crowell dictates a message on a recording machine, then removes a cassette tape from the machine and hands it to Marlowe, who puts it in his chest pocket. A moment later, Marlowe puts the same tape in his chest pocket again.

Philip Marlowe: It would give me great pleasure to see you do something foolish.

Fun movie

Vintage Garner, solid sleuth story with sophisticated plot twists! Somewhat in the same cut as Paul Newman's "Harper", but bearing Garner's unique brand of sardonic humor: Sort of a modern Bret Maverick and a soon-to-be Jimmy Rockford!

Good late 60's detective romp through West Coast life, interweaving the societal trends of that time period (Hippie, straight, boozer, "sleazer", etc.) Bruce Lee is a welcome interlude, especially in his scene at Marlowe's office.

However, Rita Moreno is the real treat in this one: probably her best dramatic performance! One wishes she had been cast in more roles like this one to let the public see her for the multi-dimensional actress that she was.

One last "shout out" to Peter Matz for his super soundtrack which added the appropriate audio flavorings to the respective scene changes, while keeping the atmospheric late 60's mood in full swing.
