THE LONG GOODBYE (1973)

Directed by Robert Altman

Written by Leigh Brackett

KATY SAYS: One man’s search for his cat with a murder mystery as background.

ERIC SAYS: Nobody has ever been as effortlessly cool as Elliot Gould in The Long Goodbye. An absolute masterpiece of 1970s cinema, it’s just so damned watchable. My favorite Altman film. Bonus: one of the henchmen in act 3 went on to a notable career of his own.
