Saluting Robert Altman: “THE LONG GOODBYE”

Transposing Raymond Chandler's ’40s and ’50s-era detective fiction to a recognizably updated, sun-bleached Southern California in the airhead 1970s, Robert Altman crafts a fascinating genre hybrid. The femme fatale; the mob king...they're all here, along with the hippies, the haze and Elliott Gould's scruffy Philip Marlowe; a walking pastiche of then and now in his omnipresent suit and tie. An affirmed cult classic, the film's traces may be seen in neo-noir works by Michael Mann, William Friedkin, Quentin Tarantino and others.

The UCLA Film & Television Archive is proud and grateful to celebrate a bequest from the Altman estate in the form of hundreds of original film elements, including the director's personal prints of many of his most cherished films. This screening of Altman’s print of “The Long Goodbye” also recognizes the publication of “Robert Altman: The Oral Biography.” The book’s author, Mitchell Zuckoff will host a post-film discussion with the film’s star, Elliott Gould and Kathryn Altman.
