Lady in the Lake 1946
Directed by Robert Montgomery | Starring: Robert Montgomery, Audrey Totter, Lloyd Nolan, Tom Tully
Private eye Phillip Marlowe wants to get out of the detective racket and into crime writing. But when he's called to the office of editor Adrienne Fromsett, it's not to talk about his story ideas — she wants him to locate the missing wife of her boss, Mr. Kingsby. The assignment quickly becomes complicated when bodies start turning up.
