Down These Mean Streets
Howard Hawks's The Big Sleep, based on Raymond Chandler 's early novel, matched Bogart's gumshoe with Bacall's glamour in a famously convoluted plot of blackmail, gambling and murder. Fifty years on, Kevin Jackson explores the restless quality of the thriller that split the seams of the well-constructed
Hollywood movie.
Producer Will Cantopher
Repeated Friday at 9.30pm
