The Big Sleep is the first Bogart-Bacall film. You can watch the pair really fall in love as the film progresses. Bogart divorced Mayo Methot and Bogart and Bacall were married. This first film pairing of the two some, including myself, consider their best. This is a true classic film noir, in black and white, with gorgeous shadows, a femme fatale, and with cynical attitudes and motivations. Always there is crime and murder. The film stars Humphrey Bogart as private detective Philip Marlowe and Lauren Bacall as Vivian Rutledge in a story that begins with blackmail and leads to multiple murders. Initially produced in late 1944, the film's release was delayed by more than a year owing to the studio wanting to release war films in anticipation of the end of World War II. A cut was released to servicemen overseas in 1945 shortly after its completion. During the delay, Bogart and Bacall married and Bacall was cast in Confidential Agent. When that movie failed, reshoots were done in early 1946 meant to take advantage of the public's fascination with "Bogie and Bacall".
