The Big Sleep***
(US 1946)
Private eye Philip Marlowe is hired to stop a blackmail racket involving a aged businessman's nymphomaniac daughter, but also becomes involved with the eldest daughter in murkier waters.
Classic noir drama where the intricacies of the plot are too complex to follow, and irrelevant anyway, next to the mood, atmosphere and the new star pairing of Bogart and Bacall, who crackle on screen, and from whom the rest of the cast take their cue, in typical Hawksian fashion.
Written by: William Faulkner, Leigh Brackett, Jules Furthman (and Julius Epstein), based on the novel by Raymond Chandler.
Producer/Director: Howard Hawks.
Starring: Humphrey Bogart, Lauren Bacall, Martha Vickers, John Ridgely, Louis Van Heydt, Charles Waldron, Dorothy Malone, Sonia Darrin, Regis Toomey, Elisha Cook Jnr, Bob Steele.
Photography: Sid Hickox.
Music: Max Steiner.
Editing: Christian Nyby.
