Elegant way of swearing 

That whole scene in the apartment is great! "Get up Angel, you look like a Pekinese!"

Sonia Darrin is the snarky dame in this scene with Bogie. I think she was great in The Big Sleep, but never received official credit. Some dispute between Sonias' agent and Warner Bros, prevented her from being credited. And it was a prominent role. Sonia was beautiful and talented. She's the only surviving cast member of The Big Sleep. Love u, Sonia! ❤😎
