A very nice film noir. It is a standard American melodrama, a story with complex, innumerable twists and turns, combined with the generated lingering mystery in the viewer’s mind until the last moment before the end of the movie, it was untied step by step.

Most of the film noir, the leading man is always clever, quick mind, very strong. “Murder My Sweet” is an exception, Marlowe gives a clumsy, silly feeling. The entire film seems perturbed.

The femme fatale Helen is a nice character with mature and fragile dual characteristics. She performed very vividly. That ‘is why each film noir is inseparable from a femme fatale.

However, story is so delicate, two stories perfectly strung together. Story One: Private detective looking for criminals prop former’s lover. Story Two: The classic femme fatale story.
