While visiting his brother in Victorville, Joe Mankiewicz (Tom Pelphrey) remarks, "I read your little script. Even without the title page, you don't need to be Philip Marlowe to know who wrote it." The hardboiled detective character of Philip Marlowe arrived in the public consciousness in the 1939 novel "The Big Sleep" by Raymond Chandler, which would itself be immortalized in Hollywood by Howard Hawks in his 1946 film adaptation.
