Or thinking of “Babylon Sisters” (which, for all I know, is a reference to it).
I remembered that it wasn’t, i.e. Gould’s Marlowe wasn’t anything like Bogart’s. (Buying cat food for a picky cat?) And figured maybe that was the point. But it’s been 10 or 15 years since I saw it, I might be completely misremembering, and now want to see it again. (ETA: which also means it’s not an evocation of Howard Hawk’s style, leaving aside whether it evokes Chandler’s)
