The Big Sleep | Marlowe Follows Geiger From Acme Books | Warner Classics 

That hat brim move and the dark glasses ... worth it. But the rye in the pocket - clean Ace. And when he leaves, says "so long, pal". Beautiful.

Never gets old- except for the “men don’t make passes” routine. Dorothy Malone makes one hell of an impression!

The Big Sleep is a perfect combo of Film Noir and Screwball Comedy, from the master director Howard Hawks. Humphrey Bogart and Lauren Bacall are at their best in this. Shoutout to Dorothy Malone, Martha Vickers, and Sonia Darrin as well(3 more actresses shown in this clip).

the greatness of this movie is manyfold; great original story, script doesn't insult your intelligence, superb acting, one must think to the plot, more............

This scene is the best argument for small, independent bookstores.

I'm currently rereading my Chandler. Gods, what a brilliant writer.

I got a little thrill playing the video game L.A. Noire. I found Geiger's Bookstore and, sure enough, if you look across the street, there's Acme Books.

People often don't realize how much dry humor is baked into Raymond Chandler's Marlowe books, and it looks as if this film captures it well. I'll have to seek out the full version.

Wow. That woman in the second bookstore really stole the scene. Looks and acting. ☮

As an opinion, Dorothy Malone’s performance in this book store scene to me is quite exceptional. Was she capable of that depth of feelings (a great actress) or was she actually making a bit of a play for Bogart? Believe Bogart was in the beginning stages of his relationship with Bacall. Not that Malone wanted to move in, but perhaps just trying the “waters” as it were. Regardless, one of my favorite scenes.

The hell with Peyton Place, this is Dorothy Malone's finest hour. She gets Canuck-cred for being in an episode of "The Littlest Hobo" too.

These two book store scenes especially the second one with Dorothy Malone, the latter teasing the production code at the time, are among my favorite moments in the film & Bogart has a fine time playing both of them it seems.

Noirs are true INTIMITE Conversations, and it is best to hold them at night - preferably during rainy nights! ... Oh, they are also best - mighty best! - in Black & White, so to allow us to color their shades and tones with the 'Colors' of our feelings!

A classic! The cars, the clothes, the dames: they don't make 'em like that any more.

Wow, look at those cars!

These Warner Bros pictures always have a unique look and sound. Unmistakable.

The black and white photography puts just enough light on the subjects in the rain during the car scene at the middle of this clip.

Marlowe's questions about those rare books, with very specific misprints ("third edition with a duplicated line on p.116") sound like an in-joke between book collectors. Books aren't like rare stamps in that way; a special misprint or typo on a page doesn't make them into special collectibles. :) Wonderful film, a real classic.

Totally fell in love with Dorothy Malone from this scene

I used to watch these movies as a kid

Great movie. Was the librarian suggesting an after noon delight 😂

The characters name is Agnes and she is the coolest character in this great classic

This is one of my favorite scenes in cinema! Bogart is great but she's perfection!

NOTE: Back then there were legal issues of using a name that could already be copyrighted elsewhere - and thus, being exposed to potential lawsuits. ... Keep in mind that back then there were no powerful computers (just clunky analog mechanical ones) to both store and search for hypothetically considered names - let alone, no internet, Google, etc., of course. ... Not sure about the name of the bookstore across the street. .. It could be one of many that Hollywood pre-copyrighted to use in films. ... BTW, Digital Computing, as universally used all over, was invented by 30's & 40's & 50's actress, Hedy Lamarr, who was not only stunningly beautiful but a true MENSA genius. ... She came up with the framework of digital computing while inventing and devising 'STEALTH TRANSMISSION' of electronic signals that made torpedoes stealthy in their signatures against detection. .. (She, of course, got a patent for this.)

The ‘studio’ rain always puts my in mind of Bladerunner.

Pretty, bookish girl. Hope he got more than a book marker. 😘😘😘😘

Geiger's "shadow," Lundgren, was his live-in boy toy in the book.

It's a really good book by Raymond Chandler. Probably his best.

Is that a bottle of rye in your pocket, or are you just happy to see me?

Hmm I wonder what they're suggesting went on in that bookstore that we werent privy to during this little episode. They should have shown him doing up his tie. Never would have got past the sensors! I've have seen this film 20 times, conservative estimate. Just ask my wife!😊

that final line? so hilarious. (I mean, the whole thing is great but)

Hope we can have the whole film. Saw the robert mitchum version but nothing bet the bogie original

Yikes! He left fingerprints on everything in Geiger's house!

Don’t try to figure out the plot of this film based on this entire clip. You never will. It’s incomprehensible - but very enjoyable and worth watching regardless.

My absolute favorite Bogie movie.

l loved Dorothy Malone's part in the film, I liked her better as a brunette as she went blond in many of her later films.

Great film.

😂😂😂 I love it this is my first time seeing this but I love to dialect when he slapped in the face and said lady on there and be quiet oh my God later and be quiet

Dorothy was some babe in her youth.

Cutting the intro music and credits really detracts from the experience

I was surprised that Sonia Darrin wasn't in the credits.

I have some rye in my pocket as well!

ACME?!?!?

Movies like this are no longer allowed.

These women are gorgeous lol.

Classy stuff.

Who plays the Geiger bookstore assistant?

Hollywood at its best..

They didnt shower after drinks and things. lol

We'll always have Geiger - we didn't have, we lost him until he turned up in the bed. We got him back last night.

Bogart was party size

Watching a lot of Black n white movies lately reminds me how simple & normal people once were. Everyone has been lead to believe technology helps us so much meanwhile everyone's attention span is now 1.5 seconds.

So long,Pal

Dorothy Malone ! Even more more seductive with glasses. For me she was the real star of "The Big Sleep".

Sex drugs and murder. Yeah thats the forties all right. Malone is adorable. This is so good i can almost forgive the cheapass sets.

Bogey, the G.O.A.T. The reason I became a P.I.

She reminds me of mak. Just vaguely if you squint real hard

Classic

Robert Michum did a good in job......his should of longer. Robert

This kind of thing has never happened to me with the dames. Say, what gives? Maybe I need to start carrying a flask of rye, and develop a manner of speaking like Bogie. Shay shweetheart.

Good acting, of course, but this is a travesty for anyone who has read the book. Apart from completely changing the dialogue and the appearance of every character (including Marlowe himself), they also went off on a storyline that's not only not in the book, it's not in character for Philip Marlowe. I should have expected no less when I saw they had cast Bogart in the title role. In the books, Philip Marlowe was six foot three and broad-shouldered. Bogart was nowhere near that. It's like Tom Cruise as Jack Reacher.

like hearing the main theme of one movement of a concerto , this sucks.......give us the movie ,

Martha Vickers was hot!

I will always be on the side of Moses ...I do not choose this ...choice made for me ...less Vincent, more Holy Trinity 😍

Awful lot of good looking dames in those book stores!

Only in the movies 19 year girls fall for middle age men.
