Lady in the Lake
Robert Montgomery stars and directs himself, sort of, as detective Philip Marlowe in an ususual, “experimental” studio picture. Told entirely from Marlowe’s point of view, the subjective camera sees everything as he would see it, including fleeting glimpses of the actor himself in mirrored reflections. This was a lot harder to accomplish in 1946 than it would be today, and the picture has a small but devoted fan following.
