Chandler's first novel introduced private detective Philip Marlowe, and
THE BIG SLEEP set the standard for private detective movies. Down-at-
the-heels private eye Marlowe gets the assignment to clean up after
the daughters of a dying millionaire, but dead people have a nasty habit
of trailing in their wake. The famously tortuous story line (Hawks
supposedly asked Chandler to clarify a plot point about the murder of
the family chauffeur; the novelist hadn't a clue as to who did the deed)
seems beside the point when Bogart and Bacall are onscreen. The final
release was recut to include more of their scenes together. A must!

Humphrey Bogart .... Philip Marlowe
Lauren Bacall .... Vivian Sternwood Rutledge
John Ridgely .... Eddie Mars
Martha Vickers .... Carmen Sternwood
Dorothy Malone .... Acme Bookstore proprietress

Elisha Cook Jr. .... Harry Jones

The Big Sleep is #106 on the IMDB Top 250 list of the all-time great films,
and #8 on their list of the Top 50 Film Noir. Even after nearly 60 years, the
dialog crackles, and the Bogart and Bacall scenes smolder. The plot makes no
sense, but it doesn't matter. This is the 114 Minute Theatrical release of
the film, which differs from the Pre-release version (incorrectly called the
Director's Cut at IMDB), in that some scenes were cut out, and others added,
mainly to beef up Bacall's part. This version is considered much the better
of the 2. The Alternate Versions section at IMDB explains the differences more
fully. I can find no record of the original scene release of the movie, but the
iNFiNiTY DUPE of it is evidently the Pre-release 116 minute version. Both were
on the R1 DVD. In any event, I hope that all Bogie/Bacall/Film Noir fans will
enjoy this one. English and French subtitles are included in SRT format.
