* BlackmailIsSuchAnUglyWord: Marlowe and Joe have a rather... vitriolic relationship. Each time they parley, it's a litany of undeclared threats and blackmailing, done in such a way that, if taken out of context, it could genuinely pass as harmless. Probably best seen when Marlowe blackmails Joe - without ever bringing the subject directly - not just by filing a signed report on what he knows, but also by informing all the newspapers in the town about it. Joe pays back by pointing out how easily he can tangle Marlowe into the case as a suspect. They both agree to simply strike a deal rather than try to one-up each other with another veiled threat.

* ChandlerAmericanTime: While being set somewhere in 1939, the many details of the film just don't align right thanks to the implied ages of various characters, making it feel more like it's the late 40s when listening to the dialogues.
