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 gumshoe 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 re-shot scenes of incendiary Bogart/Bacall chemistry) brisk pace & atmosphere galore.
