Bogart & Bacall in noir thriller
“The Big Sleep,&quot; directed by Howard Hawks, is an adaptation of Raymond Chandler’s first novel. L.A. private eye Philip Marlowe (Humphrey Bogart) takes on a case that leads him along a trail filled with murderers, pornographers, nightclub thugs, and the spoiled affluent.<br /><br />Wealthy General Sternwood (Charles Waldron) hires Marlowe to deal with a blackmailer shaking down the General’s voluptuous daughter, Carmen (Martha Vickers). This meeting introduces Marlowe to Carmen’s older sister, Vivian (Lauren Bacall). Eventually, Marlowe gets involved in the murder of a dealer in pornography.<br /><br />Adapting the novel to film was problematic for screenwriters William Faulkner, Leigh Brackett, and Jules Furthman, since the book contained lots of sexual elements that had to be toned down or eliminated because of the restrictive Hays Code then in effect.<br /><br />Chandler was fascinated with the process of investigation. So instead of the usual film noir structure that focused on murder, blackmail and their unraveling, the film develops the character of Marlowe much better than  other noir pictures of the 1940s developed their private eye or cop characters.<br /><br />Bogart and Bacall, married at the time, were extremely hot properties at the box office in 1946, and the film became a box office hit even though the narrative is sometimes confusing, with a number of sub-plots unresolved or dropped completely. The dialogue between Bogart and Bacall sparkles, and their palpable charisma adds considerably to the film’s appeal. Lacking the clarity of “The Maltese Falcon,” made five years earlier, “The Big Sleep” is a textbook example of star power trumping an easy-to-follow plot.<br /><br />Special features on the unrated Blu-ray release include a 1945 alternate version, “The Big Sleep Comparisons 1945/1946,” introduction by Robert Gitt, and theatrical trailer.

Here is a brief synopsis of the title : L.A. private eye Philip Marlowe (Humphrey Bogart) takes on a blackmail case…and follows a trail peopled with murderers, pornographers, nightclub rogues, the spoiled rich and more. Raymond Chandler’s legendary gumshoe solves it in hard-boiled style – and style is what The Big Sleep is all about. Director Howard Hawks serves up snappy character encounters (particularly those of Bogart and Lauren Bacall), brisk pace and atmosphere galore. This Blu-rayTM doubles your pleasure, offering two versions of this whodunit supreme: the familiar 1946 theatrical version, full of reshot scenes of incendiary Bogart/Bacall chemistry, and the less-familiar 1945 prerelease version, as a special feature, whose plot and resolution are more linear in fashion..
