2015/16 Season

THE LONG GOODBYE

US 1973 (18) 112 minutes Directed by Robert Altman

Ipswich Film Theatre - 30 November 2015 - 7.30pm After the success of M*A*S*H, Altman chose to work again with Elliott Gould, this time in the part of detective Philip Marlowe. Gould excels in this update of a Chandler novel, thus allowing the director plenty of scope to comment on American Society. AUDIENCE COMMENTS: Loved it – Gould is extremely charismatic. Really liked the young Arnie cameo; Wonderful soundtrack, humour and filming but poor sound quality; Mild porn, lots of fags and a good slap; It was nothing like the book. I’d like to read the book; Excellent film ruined by the volume of its soundtrack – what a shame!
