James Garner notwithstanding, The Little Sister deserves attention. The Little Sister became 1969’s Marlowe, a film starring James Garner and best remembered as a sort of prologue to the actor’s television fame on The Rockford Files. Other novels such as The Big Sleep, The Long Goodbye and Farewell, My Lovely are better-known, perhaps because of more successful film adaptations. Nevertheless, The Little Sister is hardly Raymond Chandler’s definitive Marlowe novel. Philip Marlowe is one of the definitive hardboiled detectives, with few equals in crime fiction. ![]()
