Elliott Gould has said that so long as he is physically able he holds out hopes that he could reprise the role of Phillip Marlowe. He has a screenplay entitled "It's Always Now," based on a Raymond Chandler story, "The Curtain." The Chandler estate sold him the rights to the story for $1.
Both Leigh Brackett and Robert Altman have said that Sterling Hayden and Elliott Gould's dialogue during the drinking scenes was improvised. This was because Hayden was drunk and stoned on marijuana most of the time.
Robert Altman decided that the camera should never stop moving, and put it on a dolly. However, the camera movements would counter the actions of the characters so that the audience would feel like a voyeur.
The location for Sterling Hayden's home was actually Robert Altman's home at the time.
Elliott Gould improvised the scene in police custody in which he smears fingerprint ink all over his face.
"Philip Marlowe: Nobody cares but me. Terry Lennox: Well that's you, Marlowe. You'll never learn, you're a born loser. Philip Marlowe: Yeah, I even lost my cat."
"Philip Marlowe: Excuse me, I don't see any Courry Brand cat food here. Supermarket clerk: Some what? Philip Marlowe: Some Courry Brand cat... Supermarket clerk: Could you spell that? Philip Marlowe: Courry Brand, C-O-U-R-R... Supermarket clerk: Oh, we're all out of that. Why don't you get this. All this shit is the same anyways. Philip Marlowe: You don't happen to have a cat by any chance? Supermarket clerk: What do I need a cat for, I've got a girl. Philip Marlowe: Ha, ha. He's got a girl, I got a cat."
