* ValuesDissonance: By modern standards, Marlowe's not the most politically correct chap. He frequently displays misogynistic and homophobic attitudes in many of the novels, and in ''Literature/FarewellMyLovely'' he casually uses numerous racist slurs to refer to African-Americans, although he does interact with several African-American characters in a reasonably polite and tolerant fashion. Notably, he uses the slurs when talking to openly racist people; maybe he felt the need to talk down to their level.

* HoYay: Marlowe has a tendency to misogyny, but also to extreme idealisation of his relationships with certain men, in particular Red Norgaard in ''Literature/FarewellMyLovely'' and Terry Lennox in ''Literature/TheLongGoodbye''. Some modern readers suspect that this implies that Marlowe is something of a closet case.

* FanPreferredCouple: Generally, fans preferred Phillip Marlowe with Anne Riordan from ''Farewell, My Lovely'' to Linda Loring in ''The Long Goodbye.'' This was because Anne was clever and a very active participant in the cases versus Linda's rich debutante. Fans of the movies also preferred Mrs. Rutledge from ''The Big Sleep'' despite the fact they didn't have a romance in the book.
