CASE #1. The Big Sleep (1946) |

#retroreview #crimemovies #hollywoodmovies
Deckard and Booth take to the mean cinematic streets to explore THE BIG SLEEP (1946). We're wading through on and off screen scandals, how the writers worked around the Motion Picture Code, the odd changes to the adaptation of Raymond Chandler's novel, and how production meddling might've saved the film AND MORE!
Directed by Howard Hawks
Starring Humphrey Bogart & Lauren Bacall

The Big Sleep was not a B-movie, but a prestige A film from a succesful ditector.

And yet, it is the trashy movies that have stood the test of time.

The studios definitely underestimated the genre!

You're not calling the big sleep a trashy movie, are you.

"crime" is not an adjective word. It is a noun. It must be converted, to be used as an adjective word. "Criminal fiction".
Learn to stand out from the crowd and to set the right example, rather than to "fit inward" or to imitate the wrong ways of others.

I'm don't like bogart. I liked the version done by Robert Mitchum.
Also, "sleep" isn't a noun. To make it into bein a noun, one must change it. "The Big Sleepin".
I'm don't like hammett.
