More About This Title The Little Sister
- English
English
Fast-talking, trouble-seeking private eye Philip Marlowe is a different kind of detective: a moral man in an amoral world. California in the 1940s and 1950s is as beautiful as a ripe fruit and rotten to the core, and Marlowe must struggle to retain his integrity amidst the corruption he encounters daily. In The Little Sister, Orfamay Quest—small, neat, and prissy-looking—has come all the way from Manhattan, Kansas, to find her missing brother Orrin. Or leastways that’s what she tells Philip Marlowe, offering him a measly 20 bucks for the privilege. Marlowe’s feeling charitable—and that’s mistake number one. Orrin’s trail leads to luscious movie starlets, uppity gangsters, suspicious cops, and corpses with ice picks jammed in their necks. When trouble come calling, sometimes it’s best to pretend to be out. . . Starring Toby Stephens, this evocative adaptation by Stephen Wyatt retains all the darkness and high drama of Chandler’s intense, enthralling noir novel.
