In the film _The Big Sleep_ Boragt's Philip Marlow pushes up his brim and dons
glasses to act like an ignorant but pushey (maybe also self-important, so an
easier mark for inaccurately labeled merchandise) customer, but the bookstore
he plays this part in supposedly sells  RARE  books, not pornography.  While I
cannot cite the novel from my own reading, a commentary notes that in the novel
it is a pornographic bookstore that Marlow enters.  Ah, the cleanliness of the
Production Code protected works!
