Philip Marlowe, o detective criado por Raymond Chandler, é personagem de diversos filmes mas nenhum actor o encarna como Bogart, no segundo filme da dupla Bogart e Lauren Bacall.

Pulp Fiction de grande nível.

- Why did you have to go on?
- Too many people told me to stop. 

- How do you like your brandy, sir?
