Rotten
Watching this movie has approximately the same effect as being locked overnight in a secondhand clothing store in Pasadena. There is an awful lot of dust and, after a while, the dummies look as if they are moving.

Despite an impressive production and some firstrate performances, this third version fails to generate much suspense or excitement.

It's as if someone had put pillow springs, power-steering and a tape deck into a classic racing-car. It is still handsome and it still goes, but it is a handsome mediocrity.
Richard Eder, New York Times
Fresh
"Farewell, My Lovely" is a great entertainment and a celebration of Robert Mitchum's absolute originality.
Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times
Fresh
The film's triumph is Mitchum's definitive Marlowe, which captures perfectly the character's down-at-heel integrity and erratic emotional involvement with his cases.
