Watched the 1969 Marlowe based on Chandler's The Little Sister, in which
Garner acts, because of the influence of Inherent Vice [see Borges and Robin on 
this notion], more like Doc Sportello with no pot than 
Bogie ever does---lighter....because Bogie IS more like Marlowe, I 
suggest.....................

But, very misc.....there is a "Doc" from early in the movie.......hotel guy 
calls him--"Doc?"---when Marlowe starts
grilling him.

Movie works as camp vamp now, of Chandler, of the sixties [sic. NOT the real 
book time] imho...
