The Big Sleep (1946) & The Long Goodbye

James is new to Classic Noir movies, so he watched two very different but equally iconic adaptations of Raymond Chandler’s detective stories: First, The Big Sleep (1946) and then The Long Goodbye (1973). In this episode, he and Dan explore the shadowy world of hard-boiled detectives, sharp dialogue, and morally cloudy endings. They discuss Humphrey Bogart and Lauren Bacall’s legendary chemistry and the famously tangled plot of The Big Sleep, before diving into Robert Altman’s sun-soaked, disillusioned take on The Long Goodbye, with Elliott Gould as a mumbling, out-of-step Marlowe for the 1970s.
