The Big Sleep / Büyük Uyku (DVD)
 

"The sultry mood, the incredibly witty script and the performances are impeccable."

- Geoff Andrew, Time Out Film Guide



L.A. private eye Philip Marlowe (Humphrey Bogart) 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 Hawks serves up snappy character encounters (particularly the reshot scenes of incendiary Bogart/Bacall chemistry) brisk pace & atmosphere galore.
