	Who is Philip Marlowe

		Raymond Chandler and Philip Marlowe are the beginning of modern detective fiction, along with Hammett and Spade.
		Marlowe was a hero in spite of himself, a champion of the lower classes, one with probable leftward leanings.
		Marlowe didn't operate that way, and it cheapens an icon to act as though he did.

		Philip Marlowe is arguably the most popular and influential character in American hard-boiled detective fiction.
		There is a little bit of the wise-cracking, incorruptible Marlowe in just about every detective that followed since he made his debut in Chandler's The Big Sleep in 1939.
		The year by year treatment of Marlowe was another good take, but again, due to the varied styles of the writers, development of the character is not a priority.

	Philip Marlowe's Guide to Life -- book review
		Marlowe was his hero, the quintessential hardnosed private dick working the mean streets while staying one step above the lowlifes, murderers and criminals he investigated with a relish fuelled by his desire to see people get what they deserve.
		Marlowe is the archetypal man’s man. He has three interests in life - women (“It was a blonde.
		The beauty of Marlowe and the writing of Chandler is that it has aged magnificently, possibly taking on more meaning in today’s political correctness-obsessed society than it did fifty or sixty years ago.

		Philip Carey, a big, tough and usually watchable actor, would seem to have been a decent choice to play Marlowe in 1959.

		Not the Philip Marlowe novel but an adaptation of the original, unproduced screenplay that he eventually turned into the last Marlowe book, all about a Vancouver cop trying to get to the bottom of some nasty business and help a dame out of a jam.

	Raymond Chandler - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Chandler's protagonist, Philip Marlowe, has become synonymous with the tradition of the hard-boiled private detective, along with Dashiell Hammett's Sam Spade.
		Interestingly, in the 1950s radio series "The Adventures of Philip Marlowe", which included adaptations from the stories, other protagonists were exchanged for Marlowe (for example, Marlowe for Steve Grayce in the adaptation of "The King in Yellow").
		This substitution of the name of the protagonist actually restored the original name used in the earliest published versions of the stories; in fact, it was only in their later republished forms that the name Philip Marlowe was used in any of the stories (with the exception of "The Pencil").

		Then I saw, for the first time, the Pacific pier where Philip Marlowe caught the water taxi to the Montecito gambling boat in "Farewell, My Lovely" and realized the source of my dj vu: I had seen it all before through the eyes of Raymond Chandler.
		For instance, while rereading the two most celebrated American private eye novels, Chandler's "The Big Sleep" and Hammett's "The Maltese Falcon" back-to-back, I was surprised to find Sam Spade and Philip Marlowe, who had melded in my memory (probably because Bogart played them in film adaptations of both books), really had very little in common.
