Today, I want to share with you my favorite film of all time, The Big Sleep with Humphrey Bogart and Lauren Bacall, in her second round with my childhood idle. This is a masterpiece by director Howard Hawks. The mood is so compelling it pulls you right back into 1946.
A few years back I watched this film every night for over 3 weeks straight. I would turn the lights off in my living room and hit the video tape; this was back in the old days, years ago, waaaaaay before DVD. We still had remotes then, they weighed about four pounds. The movie would kick in wherever it left off. If the movie had only 20 minutes left, I would watch it to the end, start over and watch it again.
I immersed myself in the film. Every night after the wife and kids went to bed I headed into Bogie Land.... |
