The Big Sleep (1946)
Great Performances
18 September 2001
This is the Bogart that always is imitated but never duplicated. Listen to his voice as he delivers some striking and very funny, even off-color lines that somehow got passed the Hays censors.

Don't even try to follow the barrage of names and who did what to whom and why -- it's all part of the detective/film-noir shtick. Just enjoy the interplay between Bogart and Bacall -- and between Bogart and every other "dame" in the film.

The dialogue is sharp and the performances are worth watching.
