It&#8217;s notorious as well for possessing a plot &#8220;so confusing that neither Hawks nor Chandler could figure out who was responsible for all of the eight murders&#8221; (though it turns out this may be a bit of an urban legend). <\/p>\n<p>As Peary and many others have noted, however, the film&#8217;s plot is almost beside the point, given that &#8212; courtesy of Chandler&#8217;s original novel, which Hawks and his screenwriters &#8220;didn&#8217;t bother rewriting&#8221; &#8212; it &#8220;contains the sharpest, toughest, wittiest, sexiest dialogue ever written for a detective scene&#8221;. Indeed, line after line emerging from the characters&#8217; mouths leaves one giggling with delight &#8212; especially given Hawks&#8217; trademark style of allowing the actors to &#8220;naturally&#8221; overlap one another, resulting in a literal barrage of snappy one-liners and come-backs (click <a href=\"http:\/\/www.imdb.com\/title\/tt0038355\/quotes\">here<\/a> for a representative sampling). Equally enjoyable are the numerous &#8220;off-beat female characters&#8221; peopling the screen &#8212; most notably Martha Vickers as Bacall&#8217;s &#8220;troubled nympho younger sister&#8221;, who is given to sucking her thumb and getting into all sorts of sordid trouble. <\/p>\n<p>Hawks apparently instructed all his actresses to present themselves as sexually available and willing, in order to turn Chandler&#8217;s &#8220;corrosive yet enticing Los Angeles&#8221; into a true male <em>fantasy<\/em> world for Marlowe &#8212; who somewhat amusingly encounters flirtatious women (a bookstore clerk, a taxi driver, hat girls) literally everywhere he goes. Marlowe&#8217;s primary interest, however, turns out to be Bacall, who Peary notes is &#8220;perhaps too comfortable with Bogart&#8221;; he argues that &#8220;the nervous, sexy edge isn&#8217;t there&#8221; between them, at least not to the extent it was present in their first film together (<a href=\"http:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/?p=37047\">1944&#8217;s <em>To Have and Have Not<\/em><\/a>). Bacall is fine, but for my money I&#8217;d rather see a lot more of Vickers (<a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Martha_Vickers\">whose career<\/a> sadly didn&#8217;t go very far). <\/p>\n<p>While it may be sacrilege to say so, I find that the movie goes on for a bit too long &#8212; especially given that (following Chandler&#8217;s novel) <em>The Big Sleep<\/em> is essentially two films in one. By the midway mark, we&#8217;ve already cleared up the central issue of Vickers&#8217; blackmailer, so all the complications and countless murders that occur afterwards seem to take place in a somewhat endless morass of intrigue. Yet Bogart is so &#8220;perfectly cast&#8221; as &#8220;moral shamus&#8221; Marlowe that we don&#8217;t mind watching him enjoying &#8220;the world he walks through, full of liars, blackmailers, murderers, and pretty, available women who are looking for a quick thrill.&#8221; Indeed, it&#8217;s to Hawks&#8217; credit that <em>The Big Sleep<\/em> remains a &#8220;crackerjack detective classic&#8221; despite its narrative flaws. <\/p>\n<p><strong>Redeeming Qualities and Moments: <\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Humphrey Bogart as Philip Marlowe<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/07\/big-sleep-bogart.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/07\/big-sleep-bogart.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"400\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-8695\" \/><\/a><\/li>\n<li>Martha Vickers as Carmen Sternwood<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/07\/big-sleep-vickers.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/07\/big-sleep-vickers.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"400\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-8696\" \/><\/a><\/li>\n<li>Bogart&#8217;s obvious chemistry with Lauren Bacall<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/07\/big-sleep-chemistry.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/07\/big-sleep-chemistry.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"400\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-8698\" \/><\/a><\/li>\n<li>Elisha Cook, Jr., as Harry Jones<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/07\/big-sleep-cook.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/07\/big-sleep-cook.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"400\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-8697\" \/><\/a><\/li>\n<li>Marlowe&#8217;s surprisingly sexy encounter with a flirtatious bookstore clerk (Dorothy Malone)<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/07\/big-sleep-malone.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/07\/big-sleep-malone.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"385\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-8699\" \/><\/a><\/li>\n<li>Sidney Hickox&#8217;s atmospheric <em>noir<\/em> cinematography<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/07\/big-sleep-cinematography.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/07\/big-sleep-cinematography.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"385\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-8700\" \/><\/a><\/li>\n<li>Countless zingy exchanges and one-liners<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Must See? <\/strong><br \/>\nYes, as an undisputed classic of American cinema. <\/p>\n<p><strong>Categories<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Genuine Classic<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p> (<span style=\"color:red;font-weight:bold;\">Listed in <a href=\"http:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-static\/1001Movies.htm\"><em>1001 Movies You Must See Before You Die<\/em><\/a><\/span>) <\/p>\n<p><strong>Links: <\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.imdb.com\/title\/tt0038355\/\">IMDb entry<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/1946\/08\/24\/archives\/the-screen-the-big-sleep-warner-film-in-which-bogart-and-bacall-are.html\">NY Times Original Review<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.filmsite.org\/bigs.html\">Greatest Films Review<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.reelviews.net\/php_review_template.php?identifier=874\">ReelViews Review<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.washingtonpost.com\/wp-srv\/style\/longterm\/movies\/review97\/bigsleepbrace.htm\">Washington Post Review<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.noiroftheweek.com\/2005\/10\/big-sleep-1946-101005.html\">Noir of the Week Review<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.tcm.com\/tcmdb\/title\/45\/the-big-sleep#articles-reviews\">TCM Articles<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/VBZBfIxqVMk\">Tired Old Queen at the Movies Video Review<\/a><\/td>\n<\/li>\n<\/tr>\n<\/table>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8220;I don&#8217;t mind if you don&#8217;t like my manners.
