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.

Double Bogie on Boxing Day, The Big Sleep, then Casablanca on BBC2, watching with dad.

Bogie, Bacall and Bergman; absolute classic Hollywood gold...

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.
