Plot Summary

Quiet young Orfamay Quest from Kansas has hired private detective Philip Marlowe to find her brother. After two leads turn up with ice picks stuck in them, he discovers blackmail photos concerning TV star Mavis Wald. She rejects Marlowe's help, and this is forcibly underlined by her gangster boyfriend. So, wonders Marlowe, is there a link between Orfamay and Mavis? Written by Jeremy Perkins {J-26}

Plot Keywords
Taglines Philip Marlowe is a private eye. For fifty bucks you can buy his brain, his fists and his .44 Magnum Special. If you want blood, he'll give you that, too! See more »

Trivia This is one of only two movies that Bruce Lee did where he speaks with his own natural voice. The other is Enter the Dragon (1973). This is also the only film in which Lee played a villain. See more »
Goofs When Dolores takes Marlowe up to Sonny Steelgrave's mountain retreat to meet Mavis Wald, Dolores' convertible has no rear view mirror. After she drops Marlowe off and leaves, her car has a rear view mirror. [Note: this is a common filming technique to provide better visibility when filming is directed into or out of a vehicle.] See more »
