IVIV cultural context: Marlowe/Doc

[Doug Millison]

The pussy-eating is pretty much, well, in your face, in IV, isn't  
it.   Maybe that's some of the "filth" Marlowe is investigating in The  
Big Sleep?

Mark:
IV as spoof-homage? my first reading.
Rational Marlowe vs. Doper Doc
Tough world  vs. low intensity one
Macho marlowe   vs. Pussy-eating Doc
Bad Boy Marlowe  vs. All-Hangs-Out Doc
