Bogart directed by Howard Hawks in a Raymond Chandler adaptation had to be a winner surely? Well the purist novel fans may not be 100% satisfied but nobody can deny the class that seeps from every frame in this film. Gangsters, sluts, weasels, and a gritty (anti) hero are all visually and orally brought to magnificence by Hawks and a cast shooting from the top of the hill.
Often tagged as the unfathomable masterpiece, The Big Sleep has this power that draws you into the picture to feel completely part of it, each punch and shot seems to be a part of your life. It's an incredible experience for film lovers of all ages. Humphrey Bogart is Philip Marlowe, a private investigator called in to solve a blackmail case, and that's all you need to know because you just need to observe as Marlowe lurches from scene to scene, deeper and deeper into a convoluted mire that triumphs as each scene unfolds.
One of the greatest detective films ever made, directed by a genius, starring another, and as dialogue goes it has few peers. 10/10
