Each question is worth one (1) point, except the BONUS which is worth two (2) points.

At this rate, Holden will get away with this. Who's gonna catch him??

Holden, Case #4 will hopefully be filed out tomorrow.

CASE #4

1. In Marlowe (1969), what is the name of the woman that hires the detective in the beginning of the film?
   
2. In The Long Goodbye, what other country (aside from the US) is heavily mentioned and featured?
   
3. In Farewell, My Lovely, what is the amount of the ransom Marriott is supposed to pay for the jade necklace?
   
4. In The Big Sleep (1978), who poisons Harry Jones?
   
5. In Marlowe (2022), what is the name of the heiress that hires the detective in the beginning of the film?
   
6. BONUS: All of the above are based on Philip Marlowe novels, most of them going by the same name. The exception are the first and the last. In what novels are both of those Marlowe films based on?

Each question is worth one (1) point, except the BONUS which is worth two (2) points.

Sorry for the delay.

This was more or less a bust, but if anyone wants to take a crack at these "cases" before we wrap things up and the countdown starts, be my guest!
