Once again, at the orders of the great Howard Hawks, Bogie and Bacall throw off sparks whenever they share a scene in this brilliant adaptation of Raymond Chandler’s classic novel.
A complex plot, very hard to unravel, even for the shrewd Philip Marlowe, who seems to find corpses anywhere he looks.
The story grabs you and never decays, contrary, it grows in tension with each minute, and almost every attitude seen by the players, and line of dialogue spoken has incommensurable vigor.
