...McCabe and Mrs. Miller undermines the modern mythification of the American past, The Long Goodbye (1973) exposes the improbability of a more contemporary American hero: the private eye, as created by Raymond Chandler and Dashiell Hammett.

The police have been on strike for six days, and Mayor Wyeth Chandler, declaring a "state of civil emergency," has imposed a dusk to dawn curfew...
