"The Big Sleep" by Howard Hawks

This is a thriller where we do not give a bat to know who the murderess. As the story goes, we do not care to know at the end who or what is behind the set of plots and mysteries of which Marlowe should wrap. Eventually, someone, as in the novel, remains unsolved even.

do not care nothing for two reasons. First, because these mysteries and those plots are too tangled to be able to figure it out. Second, because there is something more interesting to follow. There are the characters.

If you watch "The Grenda sleep" dozens of times, even if you pay attention to history, at some point we end up getting lost. We get lost to follow Bogart, his gestures, his jokes, sly that air of one who knows everything in the world. Follow his squabbles with Bacall (or other women). His repartee with the gangsters who from time to time to shoot the captain. Stop completely because of interest in yellow we are witnessing the birth of a myth. And everything takes a back seat. More than in Casablanca, in which Hawks noir Bogart is Bogart in his whole style.

characterization that Bogart did his Philippe Marlowe is extraordinary. It is really about the birth of a symbol, an icon, a unique character that can only be trademark style. From this film onwards born behavior "to Bogart," to be clear what upsets Sam by Woody Allen in "Play It Again Sam," that when you ask "How do you want the Brandy?" you answered "In glass".

- you do not have the air of collecting rare books. (Tells the blonde bibbliotecaria)

- I also collect blondes under glass.

Taxi

- Where do we go?

- We follow that car. Do you mind?

- I'm all yours.

- were true.

Marlowe and Carmen

- You are smart. I like you.

- And this is nothing. Wait till you see the dancer in Bali that I tattooed on his back.

Nobel laureate William Faulkner, author of the script (obviously on the novel by Chandler) and Howard Hawks are able to create a noir unforgettable. One of the rare examples where even if the plot does not capture how we should manage to keep us glued to the screen attracted by the magic of Humphrey Bogart and close dialogue and pungent.
