Review of The Big Sleep (1946) by Jayakrishnan R — 09 Jul 2015
85%.
Saw this on 10/7/15.
Most of the Hollywood films made during the 40s and 50s were extremely predictable and lacked suspense mostly because of the strict regulations from 'Hollywood Production code', which ensured that good people remain good and bad people remain bad throughout the entire film among many others. In the light of all this, The Big Sleep is a surprisingly complex detective story for mainstream vintage Hollywood, with a confusing story and a hero who keeps most of the investigation to himself. It isn't unpredictable, but Humphrey Bogart gives a credible performance.
