1975 - DAVID SHIRE, "MARLOWE'S THEME" (from the film "Farewell, My Lovely")
Farewell, My Lovely is a 1975 American neo noir film, directed by Dick Richards and featuring Robert Mitchum as private detective Phillip Marlowe. The picture is based on Raymond Chandler's novel of the same name (1940), which had previously been adapted for film as Murder, My Sweet in 1944.[3] The film also stars Charlotte Rampling, John Ireland, Jack O'Halloran, Sylvia Miles and Harry Dean Stanton, with an early screen appearance by Sylvester Stallone. Mitchum returned to the role of Marlowe three years later in a 1978 remake of The Big Sleep, making him the only actor to portray Philip Marlowe more than once on the big screen.
From that film, here's David Shire's main title theme, known as "Marlowe's Theme".
LISTENER ADVISORY: Wikipedia mentions:
"Marlowe's Theme" was for many years used as closing music to legendary Swedish radio jazz program Smoke Rings.
This version of the theme is from that radio program, and it's introduced by Leif 'Smoke Rings' Anderson.
