Raymond Chandler style film noir


I’m curious if anyone else noticed that The Big Lebowski was a Raymond Chandler styled film noir when they saw it. It didn’t occur to me until the scene where the Dude passes out from a Mickey in his drink at Jackie Treehorn’s house.

Yes, and you may know
Miller's Crossing is a Dash Hammett homage
Blood Simple is a James Cain homage
