The Big Sleep

Howard Hawks / USA 1946 / 114 min. / Blu-ray
It is a well-known fact that in Raymond Chandler’s detective stories even the author may not know who the killer is. In his novels, plot is never the most important feature. The author’s central focus is on vividly described characters and the atmosphere of a dangerous, violent city.
