Where would "The Big Sleep" rank among your favourite Noir films?
He Walked by Night (1948) is so noir that it's probably best to watch it in a darkened room. It gives new depth to the meaning of the word "claustrophobic." Carol Reed must have watched it before he made The Third Man (1949). Both are fantastic.
Definitely one of my favorite noir films.
#2 after The Maltese Falcon. Can't top Bogart.
Definitely top 5. Othersincluding Maltese Falcon, Touch of Evil and Blade Runner (the original).
Right up there at #1 About 50% because of Lauren Bacall
Great reaction! And this is one of the great American films. The viewer is just as stumped as Marlowe is through every twist and turn--nothing is objectively spoon-fed and you only find out what he finds out WHEN he finds it out. Plus we get that classic, sharp dialogue and the incredible chemistry between Bogart and Bacall.
Good way of putting it indeed. They peel the onion slowly as the narrative unravels.
Film Noir Suggestion - Double Indemnity with Fred MacMurray, Barbara Stanwick & Edward G. Robinson.
Yes, don't miss "Double Indemnity." Who's the guy who would murder your next door neighbor - a mob hitman, an angry employee or the guy selling insurance? Also, "Laura" from 1944 and "L.A. Confidential" from 1997.
A film almost nobody remembers is "I Wake Up Screaming." It was being filmed at the same time as "The Maltese Falcon" (1941) and is arguably the first film to use the visual style of the film noir: strange shadows, odd camera angles, etc. It is not among the greatest of the great films but is very enjoyable and features some wonderful performances, especially the three leads, Betty Grable (known for musicals), Victor Mature, and Laird Gregar.
Interesting I'll have to put that one on my noir watchlist.
"DARK PASSAGE" 1947 is my favorite Bogart/Bacall movie it is filmed in a very unusual way it is a MASTERPIECE!!! It's has my highest recommendation for what ever that's worth. Keep up the good work with the CLASSICS. and GOD BLESS ALL HERE!!!!!!
Definitely will add it. As always, really appreciate the recommendations and support.
The Big Sleep is very near the top of my list of greats.
The dialogue and snappy rapid-fire delivery is very enjoyable.
The beauty of a maze is its shape, and some are so beautiful that we don't mind getting out.
If you like Humphrey Bogart check out THE MALTESE FALCON, CASABLANCA, THE CAINE MUTINY, THE AFRICAN QUEEN, HIGH SIERRA, KEY LARGO, THE PETRIFIED FORREST and TO HAVE AND HAVE NOT, to name a few.
I'm planning to have a reaction to "The Maltese Falcon" up next month. Will certainly check out the others too. Appreciate the suggestions.
Another classic don't miss is The Caine Mutiny
There are actually two versions of this film. They had cut some scenes because of the Hayes code.
And they wanted more Bogie and Bacall scenes.
Just looked this up. Had no prior knowledge of it. Fascinating stuff.
@@IrishGuyReacts I read the book to get a better understanding. It didn't help. There are several plot holes. But it's fantastic 😊
Sometimes the entertainment factor trumps the consistency of the plot.
Out of the past is one of the best noirs worthy of a reaction and for other Bogart film noirs try In a lonely place and key largo.
Lauren Becall, the 2nd sister is Bogart's real life wife, his best films are 'Casablanca' (Imgrid Bergman) and 'The African Queen' (Katherine He[burn). A lighthearted film was the original 'Sabrina' with Audrey Hepburn (there was a bad remake a few years back).
Sabrina was originally written with Cary Grant in mind. When Grant unexpectedly turned the role down, Bogart was picked to play against his typical type. I love Bogey, but in my opinion it was only partially successful, especially so considering the perfect fit Grant would have been.
@@raymeedc I am not sure the movie would be as good with Grant, or as it was rewritten. The older brother is suppose to be the opposite of Wm Holden's character (David), he always played the lady's man so well.
This was the second of four films that Bogart and Bacall made together and the chemistry between the two was palpable. Martha Vickers, the unfortunate actress who was cast as the younger sister, was completely eclipsed by the obvious chemistry between the couple. Bogart and Bacall were married after they made their first film together in 1944 and they remained married until Bogart died.
But who killed the chauffeur? Literally not even Raymond Chandler could answer that one.
I thought I had watched everything you had already done, but I keep getting gems like this coming up in my RUclips feed. Thank you for reacting to the movies I grew up on. Before cable TV, these older movies used to be on the TV during the weekends or late at night. I’ve probably seen some of these 10 times. But because they’re so good, you could watch them 100 times. There used to be 4-5 great movies EVERY YEAR from Hollywood. The stuff they make today is horrible
Another noir should be up this Friday, "The Maltese Falcon".
Good Stuff, Love Bogey. By the way, Lauren Bacall is Bogart’s wife in real life. They met on the first picture they did together, To Have & To Have Not, & did a few additional movies together afterwards in the 40s.
Lucky man. Had never seen her in anything before but a very beautiful woman.
@@IrishGuyReacts Yes you have in "THE SHOOTIST" she was Bond Rodgers.
Thanks for correcting me. Didn't realise that was her.
6:11 All the times I've seen this movie & read the novel...I never thought that the blackmail scheme could be a device to get Carmen a little more spending money + a finders' fee for Geiger. Good suspicion.
One of those movies where you discover different things on each re-watch.
My Fav. Bogart movie. This is one you can watch over and over because of all the twists, Bogey is always a cool cat. As per Film Noirs, I think this is only behind "Double Indemnity" and "The Killing" (Stanley Kubrick's 1st movie 1955-56) for me. Just ahead of my Fav. Neo Noir with Jack Nicholson "Chinatown", 1975, all in my top 5 which is finished off by "The Maltese Falcon" with Bogart as Sam Spade the coolest Detective ever.
Would be very intrigued to watch Kubrick's first film ("The Shining" is one of my all time favourite films). Will be sure to add the others you suggested.
@@IrishGuyReacts Its a great Noir Film, but Chinatown with Nicholson is what we call a Neo Noir, as is L.A. Confidential from 1997, with Russel Crowe, Kevin Spacey, Danny Devito. They might get a bigger crowd or audience for you. My fav. genre is Film Noirs, there is a B movie Noir called D.O.A. from like 49 or 50, cheap made movie, but the premise is awesome, it starts with a guy reporting his own "Murder" (LOL) to the cops. He was in San Fran and was poisoned and only had a few days to live, sone kind of poison that glows, a metal compound, and he has a few days to solve his own murder !!! They made a remake in the 80s with Dennis Quaid, but it not as good. Good Job. Getting better at editing.
So excited! Love this movie.
The other great Jphn Huston films (giving that you;ve already done Sierra Madre) are the Maltese Falcon and African Queen, imho. Now that you've seen Big Sleep, you shoudl watch The Big Lebowski, is a prody of the Big Sleep on pot.
"The Maltese Falcon" is up on the Patreon Page and will be up tonight on RUclips. I definitely need to see "The Big Lebowski".
The younger sister is a "dope fiend". That's what drug addicts were called in the olden days. The movie is based on a book by Raymond Chandler. The book was fairly clear about the little sisters drug use. American movies were not allowed to show or talk about illegal drugs at that time. The book is far too complex and long for all the plot details and complexities to make it into the movie. Also the rain... It always rains in Raymond Chandler's Los Angeles. As a little girl watching these movies in my hometown of Los Angeles, I wondered if it rained more in 1940s Los Angeles.
I always imagine the weather being eternally sunny and pleasant in Los Angeles. We get so much rain over here.
Another great film noir is Touch of Evil with Orson Welles and Charlton Heston.
Nice recommendation. Appreciate it. Big fan of Charlton Heston.
Check out the classic noir: "Double Indemnity" (1944)
Definitely intend to 👍
I don't suppose you were aware of the fact that Lauren Bacall was married to Humphrey Bogart. This was the second of four films that they made together and the chemistry between the two was palpable. Martha Vickers, the unfortunate actress who was cast as the younger sister, was completely eclipsed by the obvious chemistry between Bogart and Bacall. The couple were married after they made their first film together in 1944 and they remained married until Bogart died.
I don't believe that I was. He married well. Beautiful woman.
Rebecca, Alfred Hitchcock’s first American picture with Lawrence Olivier / Notorious, another Hitchcock pic with Cary Grant & Ingrid Bergman / Casablanca with Humphrey Bogart & Ingrid Bergman.
Big fan of the Hitchcock films I've seen so I'll definitely watch these.
OUT OF THE PAST 1947,is the best noir
Not sure I've heard of that one. Will put it on the watchlist.
Hey man you've watched Double Indemnity yet?
I have not but it is on the watchlist. "The Maltese Falcon" should be up later this month.
@@IrishGuyReacts Ah, nice 👌The 40s and 50s crime noirs are mint. Billy Wilder, one of hollywood's greats, directed and wrote Double Indemnity specifically for the stars that are in it -- Barbarba Stanwyck and Fred MacMurray. Like The Big Sleep, the dialogue is 'musical' and really engaging. Maltese Falcon is a classic the first of the Sam Spade book adaptations.
You will never be able too explain the plot of The Big Sleep to anyone.
There are certainly layers to it.
