Marlowe, slightly out of time.
The city feels familiar and resistant at once. Marlowe keeps moving between intimate spaces and institutions without quite belonging to either. The hillside home remains private; the jail is an exterior reference. This is a route through atmosphere and film history, not a tour of accessible interiors.
Locations are sequenced as a fan journey, not a plot recap. Songs, scenes and episodes lead the route; changed, private and doubled sites are labelled rather than smoothed into fiction.
3 public-place or area references. Private properties and unlocated historic sites stay off the map.

Exterior reference only from public streets. The former jail is not open for casual entry.

No strong current event association is published for this World. We would rather leave this quiet than force a generic city listing.
A shared venue or neighbourhood connects a programme to the map; a city-level programme connects only to the World’s medium. Neither implies a themed event, cast appearance or artist performance. Confirm dates, location, access and tickets with the organiser.
