I rewatched about half of it just yesterday, up to the point where Roman Polanski does his switchblade cameo on Jake’s nose. Might pick it up from there tonight.

Although incomprehensible in plot The Big Sleep has its moments. Kiss Me Deadly is worth a look.

As brilliant today as it was in 1974. A true classic.

“Best PI movie this side of The Maltese Falcon. “

Yes, and in BOTH cases the leading lady was a total flop.

And almost spoiled each of them.

But in both cases the leading man carried the entire movie and made each a masterpiece.

[Corey Ohlis]

One of the rare movies where the protagonist is in every scene.

[Rummyfan]

Great great flick and IMHO Jack Nicholson’s best performance.

[Third Person]

one of Polanski’s great movies

YouTube says provider has made this video unavailable in your country. Why would you want to do that? Not complaining, just wondering.

True enough, but others deserve mention: the two version of the The Big Sleep; Farewell My lovely; A Walk Among the Tombstones; The Long Goodbye; Harper; and Devil in a Blue Dress.
