The Big Sleep

E:
This picture was Bogey and Bacall's second of five films together. I'm a big fan of the film-noir genre what with all the double entendre, all the plot-twisting and all the hard-boiled attitude and this is considered one of the all time classics.
It's about a private detective hired by a rich family to find a solution to a problem. Following the trail of the case, he crosses paths with murder, blackmail, some big players and some small ones, some sexiness, some craziness and some unexpected answers. It's tough to follow (G kept asking me 'who's that? what happened to so-and-so?'), but it's fun to try and that rat-a-tat-tat dialogue keeps you on your toes.
Filmed in 1944 it wasn't released until 1946 (if you add this one to your Netflix queue, which you should, be sure to watch the extras!) to parlay the success of Bacall's newfound fame. By that time - she and Bogey were married. He had his new young bride, he was at the height of his powers and fame and delivered yet another great performance for the ages.
Be sure to watch this moobie!

G:
I recommend you watch this in *one* sitting (not like me, in 4 separate sittings after 11pm); that is why I kept asking E so many questions...ok? The plot is a bit convoluted...but listen to the witty dialogue, current moobies don't have that anymore.
