''The Brasher Doubloon'' (known in the UK as ''The High Window'') is a 1947 crime film noir directed by John Brahm and based on the novel ''The High Window'' by Raymond Chandler. The film features George Montgomery, Nancy Guild and Conrad Janis.〔.〕 Fred MacMurray, Victor Mature, and Dana Andrews were all mentioned at different times as having been cast as Philip Marlowe in the film before the studio settled on George Montgomery〔(Harnisch, Larry ). ''Los Angeles Times'', "Trouble Was His Business -- Raymond Chandler", March 9, 2009. Accessed: July 17, 2013.〕 appearing in the final film of his 20th Century Fox contract. The plot revolves around a man being pushed out of a high window by a woman while the incident was caught on film. The movie is technically a remake of ''Time to Kill'', a 1942 film which adapted ''The High Window'' as a Michael Shayne adventure starring Lloyd Nolan. ==Plot== Private detective Philip Marlowe is hired by a wealthy widow, Elizabeth Murdock, to find a stolen coin called the Brasher Doubloon. Marlowe ends up in the middle of a much more complicated case, one that involves blackmail and murder, forcing him to deal with a number of strange individuals. That includes Merle Davis, a deranged secretary to Murdock, whose own role in the matter is considerably more sinister than it seems. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「The Brasher Doubloon」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
