Lady In The Lake

While few would make a case for Lady In The Lake being classic film noir, its subjective camera technique and eerie Christmas ambience sets it apart from the rest. Adapted from the novel by Raymond Chandler, in this film you are Philip Marlowe and everything is seen throughout from his point of view. Starring and directed by Robert Montgomery, this may one of the strangest noirs to come out of the 1940s studio system.
