Synopsis:
L.A. private eye Philip Marlowe takes on a blackmail case... and follows a trail peopled with murderers, pornographers, nightclub rogues, the spoiled rich and more.
But Raymond Chandler`s legendary gunshoe solves it in hard-boiled style - and style is what The Big Sleep is all about. In this familiar 1946 theatrical version, director Howard Hanks serves up snappy character encounters (particularly the reshot scenes of incendiary Bogart/Bacall chemistry) brisk pace & atmosphere galore.

Your Opinions and Comments
Wonderful dialogue, camerawork, atmosphere.
Masterpiece.
The picture quality is sorely lacking though, sound is OK.
