Warner Archive has announced that it plans to release on Blu-ray Edward Dmytryk's film
Murder, My Sweet (1944), starring Dick Powell, Claire Trevor, Anne Shirley, Otto Kruger, and Mike Mazurki. The release will be available for purchase on September 15.
Synopsis: Dick Powell reinvents himself from musical man to hard-boiled hero in high style in this classic film noir adaptation of Raymond Chandler's "Farewell, My Lovely". Murder My Sweet sees world-weary knight errant Philip Marlowe take a job looking for Moose Malloy's (Mike Mazurki) girlfriend Velma. Malloy's a petty criminal just released after a seven-year prison sentence, and Velma has not been seen for six years. But a simple missing-person case becomes much more twisted than Marlowe ever anticipated as initially promising clues lead to a complex web of deceit, bribery, perjury and theft. Murder My Sweet remains one of the purest versions of Chandler ever committed to film.
