At the request of Raymond Chandler's estate, his novel was completed by Robert B. Parker and published in 1989.
"Poodle Springs" is the eighth and final Philip Marlowe novel, which was either written or co-written by Raymond Chandler.
The film was released thirty-nine to forty years after its source unfinished manuscript by Raymond Chandler was written in 1958 to 1959. The "Poodle Springs" novel, completed by Robert B. Parker, was published in 1989.
Raymond Chandler's working title for the novel was "The Poodle Springs Story".
James Caan's characterization of Raymond Chandler's Phillip Marlowe character was a much older, and world-weary one, just as Robert Mitchum's had also been in "The Big Sleep (1978)" and "Farewell, My Lovely (1975)." These were all markedly different than the earlier cinematic incarnations of Marlowe, where he was younger and more energetic.
"Philip Marlowe: I'll see you tonight. Laura Parker-Marlowe: [flippantly] Which jail? Philip Marlowe: Look, Mrs. Marlowe, I'm just a lug. There are things I can do, like shoot, I can keep my word, I can tail a guy who's walking backwards, I can open a door into a dark room where there's trouble waiting... and so, I do them. I find work that fits what I do. I get a hundred dollars a day. I can't be bought or pushed. Not even for love. Laura Parker-Marlowe: [pauses, then, softly] Okay."
"Seymour: [after talking for a while] Can I call you Philip? Philip Marlowe: You can call me Santa Claus if it'll get you to the point."
