    I, on the other hand, have always been CONVINCED that Phillip Marlowe is Allison McKenzie's REAL father and she was conceived that very afternoon. I like to think that's why Constance stayed with "books." ;)

    From what I recall from the documentary when I first saw it 20 years ago now (WOW!) all of the footage is shown for each of the different scene versions in its entirety.
