This has been one of them.” So ends this highly-influential crime drama from producer Mark Hellinger and director Jules Dassin.

American, Born Hungary “It’s OK by me.” This laconic line, delivered repeatedly by Elliott Gould’s completely fresh version of Raymond Chandler's offbeat private investigator Philip Marlowe, acts as an assuaging mantra in a world, and a case, that is far from OK.
