Hardboiled Icons

Dick Powell as Marlowe




Rod Taylor as McGee

          It would be interesting to hear what opinion everyone has on the rumours about the new big-screen portrayals of the iconic figures of Phillip Marlowe, Travis McGee and Parker in comparison to those attempted in the past.


            The actors lined up for the roles are said to be Di Caprio for McGee, Clive Allen for Marlowe and Jason Statham for Paker.

    Lee Marvin made a wonderful Parker. Better than Mel Gibson. He had an air of natural grace to him.

    Very cool. Lee Marvin was amazing. As far as the new portrayals, I can't see DiCaprio as Parker at all, for the others I'm willing to wait and see.
