Love this film. Thanks for this

The Big Sleep (1945) stars Humphrey Bogart and The Maltese Falcon is by Dashiell Hammett who also wrote The Thin Man (1934).

The song at the end Hooray for Hollywood is by Johnny Mercer who's work you have heard in the movies Harvey Girls and Seven Brides for Seven Brothers and wrote the song Long Goodbye for this movie with the films composer John Williams. Mercer also admitted he wrote the song Hooray for Hollywood ironically.

The author of the Long Goodbye Raymond Chandler is also the co-screenwriter of the movie Double Indemnity.

The character played by Sterling Hayden was originally supposed to be played by Dan Blocker best known as Hoss on the TV show Bonanza but before filming he sadly died. Robert Atlman was good friends with Blocker Altman having directed quite a few episodes of the TV show Bonanza.

Unorthodox intro to Philip Marlowe but still cool! Gotta watch Murder My Sweet from 1944 and The Big Sleep from 45-46 (depends on what version you watch) for more Raymond Chandler adaptations!

Thought I was about to hear a comparison of men's asses worthy of a Trump rally with that opening analysis...

And Dan Blocker's son, Dirk Blocker, played Hitchcock on Brooklyn Nine-Nine.

It's like a pile of muscle! And those sausage fingers!

Ben Gilbert

The detective in the Maltese Falcon was Sam Spade not Philip Marlowe.

Appears that Roger Ebert loved this but many critics thought it was too "New Hollywood" and seedy...I liked it- except for the coke bottle to the face scene which was vile

I think I knew that Hammett inspired Chandler. It's cool that Bogart made that his own

The Coke bottle was brutal but I think it was necessary to show how ruthless this guy is. This movie was so well done but made me feel kinda gross
