The Big Sleep

Dir. Howard Hawks | 1945 | 114 mins | B&W | USA | English | PG

In an ​iconic performance, Humphrey Bogart plays detective ​Philip Marlowe, hired by a wealthy family to investigate murder, blackmail and all manner of indiscretion. ​75 years ​on ​it still doesn't fully make sense, the labyrinthine plot is full of holes, dead ends and redundant threads... but so what? It's a ​joy to watch Bogart and Bacall's chemistry as they lap up the hardboiled dialogue, and slink about in the shadows. A masterpiece.

Why you should see it: because it’s one of the key noir works - who cares about the plot?
