Howard Hawks’ noir masterpiece is the first film version of a Raymond Chandler novel and boasts a screenplay co-written by none other than William Faulkner.
A story of murder, blackmail, double crosses and, possibly love, the movie stars Humphrey Bogart as famed private detective Philip Marlowe and Lauren Bacall as "exacting, smart and ruthless" playgirl Vivian Rutledge. This is the zenith of the genre, with its hard-boiled crime, crackling, witty dialogue and seedy yet lushly atmospheric Los Angeles underground backdrop. Oh, and of course, Bogart and Bacall’s natural, sizzling chemistry.
Guaranteed to knock your fedora off your head or instantly turn you into a femme fatale!
