The Brasher Doubloon (known in the UK as The High Window) is a 1947 American crime film noir directed by John Brahm and starring George Montgomery and Nancy Guild.[1] It is based on the 1942 novel The High Window by Raymond Chandler.
Fred MacMurray, Victor Mature, and Dana Andrews were all mentioned at different times as having been cast as Philip Marlowe in the film before the studio settled on George Montgomery,[2] appearing in the final film of his 20th Century Fox contract.
The High Window had already been adapted for film in 1942 as a Michael Shayne adventure starring Lloyd Nolan.
