The Big Sleep
1946, Not rated, 114 min. Directed by Howard Hawks. Starring Humphrey Bogart, Lauren Bacall, Dorothy Malone, Martha Vickers, John Ridgely and Elisha Cook Jr.
Noir Canon: Perhaps the very best Philip Marlowe screen adaptation, The Big Sleep sizzles with the Bogey-Bacall chemistry and crackling dialogue full of innuendo. Although all of the plot convolutions are impossible to fully untangle, that has never gotten in the way of the film's enjoyment.
No events scheduled.
