the long goodbye (1973)

I absolutely adored this hard boiled detective story (adapted from a classic Raymond Chandler novel), primarily because it was taut, exciting, cool, with great characters and stylish scenes, but equally as much because there is something irresistible and hilarious about Elliot Gould as a sardonic world-weary private eye.
