In addition to the 1950s series with Philip Carey (which I've never seen), they did a pilot for a Marlowe series in 2007, an updated version with Jason O'Mara in the lead (a year before the network put him in "Life on Mars"): http://www.zap2it.com/tv/zap-pilots-jasonomaraplayingphilipmarlowe,0,4366253.story And I completely agree about the James Garner movie from 1969.
