WATCH FAREWELL MY LOVELY FREE

Yes, you can watch this Raymond Chandler classic FREE at MOVLOCKER.COM. The site is very similar to putlocker for those that have used that site. You will need to close about 3 popups before you can watch the movie, and close another popup before going to full screen. Otherwise very watchable, and good quality. No bugs or viruses detected. So don't' click on the other shit.

MDB Rating: 7.1/10 from 3,532 votes Release: 1975 / Farewell, My Lovely Genre: Crime , Mystery , Thriller Director: Dick Richards Stars: Robert Mitchum , Charlotte Rampling , John Ireland

Synopsis: This, the second adaptation of Raymond Chandler's novel, is much closer to the source text than the original - Murder, My Sweet (1944), which tended to avoid some of the sleazier parts of the plot - but still concerns private eye Philip Marlowe's attempts to locate Velma, a former dancer at a seedy nightclub and the girlfriend of Moose Malloy, a petty criminal just out of prison. Marlowe finds that once he has taken the case, events conspire to put him in dangerous situations, and he is forced to follow a confusing trail of untruths and double-crosses before he is able to locate Velma

WATCH The MALTESE FALCON FREE ONLINE

Yes, you can watch Humphery Bogart as SAM SPADE in THE MALTESE FLACON for FREE. So save the trip to the local RedBox or forget paying for it.

It's FREE to watching this streaming video at Putlocker. Now the site is a little buggy, WE didn't catch any bugs and have used this site several times to watch movies. You will have to kill 2-3 popups before you can watch the movie, and kill a popup when going to full screen. But other than that it played fine with no bugs or viruses. Just avoid clicking on anything else at Putlocker (adverts).
