The Long Goodbye (1973) Part 1

[nepotiums]

Gotta love Mr. Marlow. He stays in a penthouse with a cat. He's got sexy neighbors. And most of the time he mumbles to himself.

8:40 "Da da da, I'll lock the cat..."

[McNugget06]

It's a longggggggggg goodbye. and it happens everydayyyyy

[AdamElseify]

thumbs up if you're smoking a cigarette indoors

[hxzxxl]

@AdamElseify is that still legal?

[AdamElseify]

@hxzxxl it is when you're watching this movie

[michaelatkinsonhere]

Awsome film.

[310southpark]

Whats the song that starts at 0:11?

[rickv404]

@310southpark Hooray for Hollywood.

[gweijai]

Love this movie but it could have used a little more Jim Bouton and a little less cat.

And what is an inky doodle ? 

[kar5431]

@gweijai Inky doodles are greeting cards

[sebaspasco]

@gweijai I'm pretty sure he said "Yankee doodle" which I presume means a handjob. 

[ixat00]

@sebaspasco It's actually some kind of cake-like dessert.

[gweijai]

Love this movie but it could have used a little less cat.

[ihcatihjwh]

Smoking!!!

[GoonDocksGirl]

please, can anyone tell me what he gives at first to the cat? (at 2.30) Is it cheese? (stupid question I know, but I have to write an essay about this scene)

[Tempe1962]

@GoonDocksGirl looked like cottage cheese to me.I read he enjoyed working with the cat.By the way that info comes from a book on cult classics.

[brentisone]

very nice done the same music theme is reproduced all over the film by different styles and instruments

[stevengowin]

Drew Casper notwishstanding, this is a brilliant movie, right up there with McCabe as one of my Altman favorites.

[ssesf]

Thanks for uploading. I like the high 360p picture and audio quality and the movie format!

7:10 What do I need a cat for? I've got a girl.

Great remark.

[ThePerusjamppa]

Special kind of (cat food) mood in this film, In a very positive way, Thx for the vid !

[theoldbeagle7]

If you like films like this, you should check out Thomas Muldoon's novel, SMOKING in BATHROOMS. The main character, Josh Dougherty, loves movies from the early 70's and he gives a visceral account of the United States that is romantic and truly unforgettable.

[NataschaO]

That cat is going to be sick. Hate the guy already.

[AddictedToFunAndMeth]

@NataschaO Ah, but the real mystery of the entire film is what happened to the cat? Read Ken Hillis' "Film Noir and the American Dream: The Dark Side of Enlightenment," and watch how the camera in this scene follows the cat. Instead of the people in the film being the ones searching for enlightenment, Marlowe's cat is. That is why Altman is a genius.

[GordonMorrice]

Best supermarket scene ever.

[GordonMorrice]

@GordonMorrice Well.... maybe Big Lebowski's similarly early scene is on par. Ah, fuck it.

[joeycm]

just saw this tonight i was so surprised to see Arnold Schwarzenegger as an extra thug without any lines but was equally shocked to see David Carradine (Kung Fu/Kill Bill) as the guy in jail with Elliott Gould such bizarre beginnings for those 2 actors wow in a movie that not a lot of people even heard of!

[zensorship]

This film confuses me.

[Lewis1key]

What a contrast to Robert Mitchum's Farewell my Lovely released two years later!

But that's Altmans genius and Elliot Gould's as well. Fuck convention!

This movie stands on it's own merit!

[mpjrdldn]

Thank you, thank you, thank you!

[1trebori]

Man, I like that loser!

It's okay with me.

[willerror]

I love how all the dialogue sounds looped.

[MrDataCode]

One of the greatest film opening scenes.

[sdmitch16]

@PrizeFighterEnFuego Where does Arnold Surewardanigga come in?

[PrizeFighterEnFuego]

@sdmitch16 part 9. hes mostly in the background

[TIPTON340]

@PrizeFighterEnFuego -- Arnold has complete denied he was in the film according

to Altman in a documentary about this film I saw on DVD.

[kingoftomatoes]

@TIPTON340 arnold's an idiot

[kingoftomatoes]

@TIPTON340 arnold's an ass, anyone involved in this film should be considered priviliged

[nixsogutstudios]

@sdmitch16 You mean Schwarzenegger?

[sdmitch16]

@nixsogutstudios lol yes. 7 months later after other people starting talking about Schwarzenegger in response to my comment.

[nixsogutstudios]

@sdmitch16 You missepelled, it, ignohrant fooll

[sdmitch16]

@nixsogutstudios I missspelled it with 3 words and common onomatopoeia for a mispronunciation of a word(da). Clearly it was on purpose, and if I had been talking about someone else I would have responded to PrizeFighter.

[TreyRoque]

One of my all time faves. Love Elliot Gould, love the music.

[robertlaberge]

Quite uneventful part 1, verging on the boring.

[drcoxcentral]

Elliot Gould reminds so much of W.C. Fields in the beginning, lol!

[binbinky78]

that cat is very very cute!

[pipacs79]

Love the music and voice of Marlowe. Thanks

[TIPTON340]

@pipacs79 -- the singing voice belongs to Jack Sheldon (Conjunction Junction,

what's your function? & I'm just a bill).
