The Big Sleep (1946) starring Humphrey Bogart as Philip Marlowe, hard-boiled private eye created by Raymond Chandler. Marlowe gets sucked up into a case involving a missing man, two rich girls, a complex blackmail scheme and murder galore. The eldest girl is played by Lauren Bacall who almost defines the meaning of a femme fatale. William Faulkner had his hand in the screenplay and this movie set the standard for film noir for years to come.
