[TV orNotTV] Re: One Marlowe to revive another at ABC

2013-10-22 Thread Dave Sikula
My initial reaction is to say It can't work, because Marlowe is so tied 
into that whole late 30s/40s Los Angeles ambiance, but the BBC made it work 
with Sherlock, so anything's possible, I suppose. (I exempt Elementary, 
since it just didn't work for me in the viewings I gave it).

On the other hand, Castle hasn't done anything for me, so I expect this 
to go nowhere.

The best Marlowe? Dick Powell. Garner came second, and would have been 
perfect with a better script, but is still not bad. Bogart is third.

 I remember the HBO version.  It starred Powers Boothe as Marlowe and was, 
I thought, very well done.
