The Big Sleep (1946) Directed by Howard Hawks, running time 1:54

Private detective Philip Marlowe (Humphrey Bogart) is hired by wealthy General Sternwood to resolve a blackmail scheme involving his daughter Carmen. What begins as a simple case, spirals into a labyrinth of murder, deception, and organized crime. Along the way, Marlowe encounters Vivian (Lauren Bacall), the general’s sharp-witted elder daughter, whose motives are as enigmatic as her allure. The film’s famously convoluted plot—adapted from Raymond Chandler’s novel—becomes secondary to its atmosphere, dialogue, and the electric Bogart-Bacall pairing.
