Definitely Worth the View.
Fairly rare and hard to find. Philip Marlowe Private Eye was an HBO venture back in their early days so many of us fans of the genre missed out on seeing it. Unlike some other recent Marlowe movies, this one is set in the era that the stories were written with vintage cars, clothes, hairstyles, and attitudes. A lot of time was spent on making this as authentic as possible much like the A&E version of Nero Wolfe. This came first.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

High Hopes For A Good Raymond Chandler Collection Quickly Dashed
This must have been too early in Powers Boothe's acting career for him to have learned any acting skills. Never was a big fan of his in the rest of the stuff I've seen him in; e.g. Tombstone, Deadwood, and both Sin City movies. But I thought that he might be better or at least more likeable in this more or less good guy role. However, his acting is so stiff and unappealing that I probably won't even watch the rest of the series. And the rest of the cast wasn't much better in the one title that I was able to sit part of the way through. Perhaps there is some value in this production in visualizing some of Raymond Chandler's stories, but it's pretty painful sitting through it. The literary aspect of this series is the only reason I gave it two stars instead or just the one that it deserved. It actually makes you wonder why they even went to the trouble and expense to make the series.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

Great Marlowe, great adaptions of Chandler's tales.
I've wanted this series for a long time so it was great to finally get it. Powers Boothe is a great Marlowe and the show is beautifully done. Excellent adaptions of Chandler's short stories.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New

A must-have for Marlowe fans
Powers Boothe was born to play Marlowe. Sets, cars, wardrobe, acting, atmosphere - everything is spot-on. A few episodes have a bad sound transfer - but you'll live. Maybe one day they'll reissue and deal with the phasing in "The King In Yellow", but until then, this is the only way to own the complete 2-season "Philip Marlowe Private Eye" television show in all its glory. Worth every penny!Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

Terrific series from the 1980's
Pros. ----Great series... Love Marlow, ----Cons, the transfer to dvd seem to have been done from VHS copies and not the original studio Masters, so there is some small amount of loss of sharpness, I would love to see this series on Blu-Ray
