#Rita moreno nude popi movie
Most of the time when we got to the part of the movie where we came in, we would leave. The first time I saw Raiders, we had come in during that scene, just before Indy drew his gun and shot the swordsman. Instead, we would often go in to the film in the middle, watch the double feature, then stay to see the part of the first movie we missed. When I was a kid, my Dad loved going to see movies, but he couldn’t be bothered to show up for the beginning of the film. Jim Garner actually taunts him by telling him that he looks kind of gay, and I had just been thinking, “Is this character supposed to be a gay stereotype, or is he supposed to be so clueless that he doesn’t realize he is ridiculous?” I never did get it. Needless to say, this peacock is only useful for doing a bunch of fancy kicks and chops before he is eliminated. Lee doesn’t even have a throwing star, or anything else that can work from more than six feet away. At least the guy in Raiders brought a sword to the gunfight. One of the surreal aspects of the film was Bruce Lee as an colorfully dressed mob enforcer who threatens heavily armed men with his martial arts expertise, ala the famous scene in Raiders. I suppose that was a cost-saving move, since no sets had to be altered or created to turn 1969 LA into 1969 LA. I also would have preferred to leave the story in the 1940s instead of having Marlowe deal with hippies in the late 60s. Garner was to Marlowe as Roger Moore was to James Bond – too flippant, too jokey. He was basically Jim Rockford and/or Bret Maverick. As opposed to Bogart or Mitchum, who were laconic cynics, Jim Garner just wouldn’t stop babbling, bantering and conning. The problem with this version of Chandler’s “The Little Sister” is the re-imagining of Philip Marlowe to suit the skill set of Jim Garner. They are all about the atmosphere and characterization, not the actual cases being solved. That’s true of almost all of the Hammett and Chandler works. It’s not because the plot is confusing and riddled with holes. I love the stories of Dashiell Hammett and Raymond Chandler, and most of the movies made from them, but I did not love this film. Some of the commenters noted that her breasts appear to be prosthetics.) That’s a shame because these near-nude captures from the closing scene of Marlowe demonstrate that she really had an impressive figure. Her only nipple exposure, for example, was accidental. Rita Moreno did very little screen nudity in her lengthy career.
