The Big Sleep at Library Film Series
The Greenville Public Library's Third Floor Film Series will next
screen the 1946 film noir The Big Sleep, directed by Howard Hawks and
starring real-life couple Humphrey Bogart and Lauren Bacall in one of
their most legendary on-screen pairings.
Based on the novel by Raymond Chandler and a screenplay co-written by
novelist William Faulkner, The Big Sleep is full of film noir
trappings, from a labyrinthine plot and snappy dialogue to moody
cinematography and a subtextual evaluation of right and wrong. Films in
this genre were often less about plot and more about atmosphere and the
chemistry of their stars. Few were able to rival the magnetism of Bogie
and Bacall. The Big Sleep is one of the most stylish films noir ever
made.
Join us on Tuesday November 5th at 6:30 p.m. Refreshments will be
provided and a short discussion will follow the film. Minors must be
accompanied by an adult. We hope to see you there!
