A Tale of Two Kitties
The Long Goodbye (1973)
directed by Robert Altman
rating: 5 out of 5 cravats
on DVD from JL
It isn't so much that Gould gets out of the house in the middle of the night to buy a particular brand of cat food for the cat who won't leave him alone. Cats were worshiped as gods once and never forgot it, or so the story goes. In "The Long Goodbye," it's Marlowe who's royalty - the unflappable king on his Los Angeles Olympus - tolerant of mortal machinations until the very last, when he exacts his revenge like Zeus on high.
