It looks forced as if this was not Hustons's first choice, but something he had to come up with to comply with the code. For an experienced guy like Roy this just does not happen.<br />What I liked in this movie was exactly that Roy is a more complex character than your standard gangster. The interlude with Velma (since Farewell My Lovely I have a problem with than name) I think is to show that looks decieve. Roy is a crook but a decent fellow while Velma (and her family) looks like a decent girl, but actually lack integrety.<br />Roy was a gangster I hoped would somehow pull through.
