Lady in the Lake

Based On the book by Raymond Chandler

Lady in the Lake is a 1946 American film noir starring Robert Montgomery, Audrey Totter, Lloyd Nolan, Tom Tully, Leon Ames and Jayne Meadows. The film is an adaptation of the 1943 Raymond Chandler murder mystery The Lady in the Lake and represents Montgomery's directorial debut and final film for Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer (MGM) after 18 years with the studio. Montgomery's use of point-of-view cinematography was blamed for the end of his career at MGM. As director, Montgomery's ambition was to create a cinematic version of the first-person narrative style of Chandler's Philip Marlowe novels. Aside from mirror reflections and direct addresses to the audience, Marlowe is never seen.
