The Big Sleep


#200 Howard Hawks: The Big Sleep (1946)

I found the dialogues in this movie intriguing and entertaining, so much so that I couldn't just pick out a few lines as favourites. Ok like 'Why did you have to go on?' - 'Too many people told me to stop'. I have never read a Raymond Chandler book, but if this script is close enough to it, I'd sure like to start. 
'Bogie and Bacall' were already married by then, and their chemistry is splendid. The whole movie is full of interesting female characters, not so in the niche as the male counterparts. Oh well, i was fun watching it! Even while struggling to catch everything that was going on, such twists and fast talkers - thank god for the repeat-option :)
