Editorial Reviews:

L.A. private eye Phillip Marlowe takes on a blackmail case...and a trail peopled with murderers, porographers, nightclub rogues, the spoiled rich and more. Humphrey Boart plays Raymond Chandlers' legendary gumshoe and director Howard Hawkes serves up snappy character encounters (particularly involving Lauren Bacall), brisk pace and atmosphere galore in the certified classic.

Humphrey Bogart in The Big Sleep

Summary: Bogart at his best
Comment: Humphrey Bogart was probally the big screen's best reprsentive of the hard boiled prive eye, and this film gave him a superlative chance to demonstrate this. the film has been critized for failing to tie up some loose ends-a murder never gets solved, for example-but that aspect simply makes it more realistic. In real life, you always get things that don't add up or fit the general picture. So it's actually more realistic than a move that pretneds to answer all the questions. A superlative movie.

Summary: Bogie & Bacall
Comment: The first -- probably the best -- of the Humphrey Bogart and Lauren Bacall collaborations. Based on Raymond Chandler's classic novel, Bogart takes on the role of LA Private Eye Phillip Marlowe and Bacall as an heiress whose sister has an unsavorary boyfriend who disappears. A terrific film, snappy dialogue, rain slicked streets and vicious hoods. It has it all. Both the release and never released versions are on this DVD.

Summary: A Bogart Masterpiece
Comment: They don't make movies like this anymore! Everything about this movie makes it a MUST for anyone who's serious about collecting and buying truly great movies.
The story is compelling and will keep you guessing from start to finish, don't miss a minute of it or you'll fall behind.
The actors are amazing. Bogart shows in this movie that he is one of the 5 greatest actors in movie history. He delivers the dialogue like no one can. Bacall shows at such a early point in her carreer that she can hang with Bogart, something only a few actresses have been able to do. Her mysterious presense adds to the film's greatness.
The supporting actors are many and are all excellent character actors.
For me the best part of the movie is the dialogue. In a time where nobody talks like they do in the Big Sleep I found it hyptnotizing and audibly music to my ears.
This is one movie you must have.
