The Big Sleep, (Wilson Hall;

pas). Directed by Howard
Hawks, written by (among
others) William Faulkner,
photographed by Sidney
Hicker, with Humphrey
Bogart, Lauren Bacall, Dorothy
Malone, Elisha Cook. "You
may not be able to figure out
the plot, even after the
denouement, but it's the
dialogue and the entertaining
qualities of each sequence, not
the plot, that make this
movie." –Kl, "The Big Sleep
is a violent, smoky cocktail
shaken together from most of
the printable misdemeanors
and some that aren't – one of
those Raymond Chandler
Specials which puts you, along
with the cast, into a state of
semi-amnesia through which
tough action and reaction
drum with something of the
nonsensical solace of hard rain
on a tin roof." – James Agee.
