The story originated when Carlman, the youngest daughter of the wealthy Enwood, fell in love with a private detective, but was rejected because she was mentally ill. She lost her mind and killed the private detective. All this became the handle of the casino owner Masle Thornwood. After the truth became clear, Mas was killed by a private detective hired by Enwood. The film’s narrative structure is exquisite and symmetrical, the narrative is clearly organized, and the dialogue in the film is concise and exciting. The original very mediocre film gained artistic life.
This classic mystery mystery film is adapted from a novel by Raymond Chandler, produced by Warner Bros. Pictures, Howard. Director Hawkes.

    TLF slag translation, the subtitles of the theatrical version are directly overlaid, the story is obscure and difficult to understand, the relationship between the characters is chaotic, and only Howard Hawks can like it.

    I can understand why the evaluation is not high. The amount of information in the script is indeed too large. Although Hawks is still very hot in the scheduling of many scenes, it is a lot less interesting, just like a bowl of sugar water made by the chef of Huaiyang State Banquet Drink but less flavor. Bogart's B box has always been full, and it can be regarded as in line with Marlowe's image.

The Big Sleep quotes

  • Philip Marlowe: She tried to sit on my lap while I was standing up.

  • Vivian: I don't like your manners!

    Marlowe: I'm not crazy about yours. I didn't ask to see you. I don't mind if you don't like my manners. I don't like 'em myself. They are pretty bad. I grieve over them long winter evenings, and I don't mind your ritzing me, or drinking your lunch out of a bottle. But don't waste your time trying to cross-examine me.
