!!The film

* AwardSnub: Given that it was written by Oscar faves Johnny Mercer and Music/JohnWilliams, you'd think the theme song would have at least gotten a nomination, but no.
* EnsembleDarkhorse: That security guard who does impressions (played by Ken Sansom, who later voiced [[Franchise/WinnieThePooh Rabbit]]).
* SugarWiki/HeReallyCanAct: Former baseballer Jim Bouton (Terry) and singer/socialite Nina van Pallandt (Eileen) turn in solid performances in their acting debuts.
* RetroactiveRecognition: A mustachioed Creator/ArnoldSchwarzenegger makes his second film appearance in an uncredited, nonspeaking role as one of Marty Augustine's thugs.
* VindicatedByHistory: A box office failure in 1973 that was derided by Marlowe purists, it's now recognized as a classic, with some critics even arguing that its version of Marlowe is truer to Creator/RaymondChandler's vision of the character than any other film.
