Episode 148: Marlowe (1969 Movie)
Episode 148
Sunday, 23 November, 2025

We're back! We watch the 1969 movie Marlowe, starring James Garner, Rockford Files alums-to-be Rita Moreno and William Daniels as well as Carroll O'Connor and Bruce Lee. An adaptation of the Raymond Chandler story "Little Sister," contemporary reviewers seemed to find it lacking as compared to the classic Humphrey Bogart interpretation of Phillip Marlowe, but we really enjoyed it! Of course we are coming to it with Rockford on our minds, and it's fun to see the precursors to character traits and attitudes that end fully developed over 6 seasons of television. If you like The Rockford Files, you'll probably dig it! Want more Rockford Files trivia, notes and ephemera? Check out the Two Hundred a Day Rockford Files Files!
