Watching the movie "The Big Sleep" (1978) with Robert Mitchum. A stylish Raymond Chandler story.
I think Elliot Gould's "The Long Goodbye" was a bit more smoothly put together, but this is fun too.

It's October! ->
"It was about eleven o’clock in the morning, mid October, with the sun not shining and a look of hard wet rain in the clearness of the foothills. I was wearing my powder-blue suit, with dark blue shirt, tie and display handkerchief, black brogues, black wool socks with dark blue clocks on them. I was neat, clean, shaved and sober, and I didn’t care who knew it. I was everything the well-dressed private detective ought to be. I was calling on four million dollars."

During the Summer of 1977 I was reading The Big Sleep, and about halfway through it, I left it on a train. I was travelling and could not find a reolacement in a bookstore. Time passed and occasionally I'd remember that I didn't finish it. We'll after 47 years I finished it tonight. Totally worth it.

So, being sick with my first run of Covid is fuckin' awful and you know I'm really going through it when I throw on The Big Sleep (1946) because it is my ULTIMATE comfort film.
I adore this movie. The Acme Book Shop scene is the single greatest scene put to celuoid and I WILL fight about it (when I feel better).
On November 7, 1947, The Big Sleep debuted in Australia. Here’s some original Humphrey Bogart and Lauren Bacall art!

I’m reading Raymond Chandler — The Big Sleep and other novels. Quite apart from sounding like a parody of itself, his writing is utterly impossible to understand — I mean the slang. Half the time I haven’t a clue what’s going on.
On September 14, 1984, The Big Sleep was re-released in Finland. Here’s some original Humphrey Bogart and Lauren Bacall art!

This moment in “The Big Sleep” always gets me - Elisha Cook, Jr.’s delivery of this line is so poignant since he knows what’s about to happen to him!

Just re-read The Big Sleep. Not *quite* my favourite Chandler novel, but it's close.
It shares many of the same plot beats as the screenplay while somehow being a totally different story (if you've seen the film but not read the book; you'll be very surprised at what happens). It also fills in a few of the film's plot holes. Great as the film is, Chandler, famously, was blind drunk the entire time he was writing the screenplay and it sort of shows.
"I don't mind if you don't like my manners. They're pretty bad. I grieve over them during the long winter evenings." - Raymond Chandler wrote some seriously great dialogue in his iconic novel, The Big Sleep, published on this day in 1939. Hardboiled private detective Philip Marlowe is a true original.
