'''''Murder, My Sweet''''' is a 1944 Edward Dmytryk-directed [[Film Noir]]. It was adapted from the 1940 [[Raymond Chandler]] novel, ''Farewell, My Lovely''.
Moose Malloy has just gotten out of jail, and hires detective Philip Marlowe to track the [[Love Interest]] he lost touch with while serving time. He is also hired by a beautiful woman named Clare Trevor to find a stolen jade necklace. It becomes more obvious that their stories are connected as the film continues.

Line 20 ⟶ 19:
* [[Only in It For the Money]]: Philip only does his job for the money.
{{quote|'''Philip''': Only reason I took the job was because my bank account was trying to crawl under a duck.
'''Lieutenant Randall''': You're not a detective, you're a slot machine. You'd slit your own throat for 6 bits plus tax!
* [[Pretty in Mink]]: Ann wears a mink coat at the end.
* [[Private Eye Monologue]]
* [[Smoking Is Cool]]
* [[Viewers are Morons]]: The reason for the title change was on account of a belief that audiences would assume a film called ''Farewell My Lovely'' with Dick Powell was a musical. Including the word murder in the title was to clue audiences in that it was a mystery.
* [[Weapon for Intimidation]]: Philip Marlowe carries a revolver but states that he rarely needs it.
