The Big Sleep is one of the finest examples of film noir we’ll ever have. The script is based on Raymond Chandler’s hard-boiled detective novel of the same title. The plot is remarkably complex, but who cares when our detective, Philip Marlowe, is entertaining us with one wise crack after another? “You’re not very tall are you?” a spoiled brat tells him. “I try to be,” Marlowe says.
Fans of the Bogart-Bacall duo will find much to please them in The Big Sleep. The dialog between these two is as steamy as Florida in July. If you’ve never seen this masterpiece, you have a treat waiting for you.
