Leave your thoughts about The Big Sleep.
| Daily Telegraph (UK)Tim RobeyDirector Howard Hawks’s movie is a film noir touchstone, and features one of Bogart’s best good-man-in-a-tough-spot performances, alongside the irresistible Lauren Bacall. |
| Creative LoafingMatt Brunson"I don't like your manners." "I don't like them myself. They're pretty bad... I grieve over them on long winter evenings." |
| Daily Telegraph (UK)Sukhdev SandhuThe plot is a bundle of confusions, but who cares? Few films have made cigarettes seem so glamorous. Or had such seductive repartee. |
| Radio TimesTony SlomanOne of the great pleasures of the silver screen. |
| Total FilmNeil SmithOozing class from start to finish, Howard Hawks' 1946 noir isn't just a Hollywood classic. |
| Classic Film and TelevisionMichael E. GrostTry to see the original version, which explains the plot better and has better story telling. |
| Empire MagazineKim NewmanBogart as Marlowe is compelling in this classic thriller that is complex but triumph of atmospheric cool. |
| Time OutTom HuddlestonThis is arguably the high-water mark of Hollywood’s love affair with the infinitely slippery possibilities of the English language. |
| VarietyVariety StaffBrittle Chandler characters have been transferred to the screen with punch by Howard Hawks' production and direction, providing full load of rough, tense action most of the way. |
| Goatdog's MoviesMichael W. Phillips, Jr.This movie was among the most fun movies I have ever seen. |
