The movie is not based on a Raymond Chandler original but on the 2014 novel The Black-Eyed Blonde by Benjamin Black (the pen name of John Banville), which was authorized by the Chandler estate.
The film Marlowe (2022), directed by Neil Jordan and starring Liam Neeson, serves as a stylistic but often sluggish contribution to the neo-noir genre. Released in late 2022 and early 2023, it marks Neeson’s 100th film role, bringing Raymond Chandler's iconic private investigator, Philip Marlowe, back to the screen. Production and Historical Context
