The Big Sleep (DVD, 2000, Contains Two Versions)

This is Bogart at his best as a "tough-guy" detective. This DVD gives you both the movie as it was originally shot and the official released version which was changed to take advantage of the Bogart/Bacall success in their previous film "To Have and Have Not." They do a good job presenting Raymond Chandler's hit book in a 1940's film version. You get rare glimpses of the humor of Bogart, the romantic Bogart/Bacall connection, and a strong supporting cast. If you like history, you also get to see the cars, fashions, and downtown buildings of the 1940's. This is a much better movie than the re-make of the 1970's starring Robert Mitchum.

I bought This Classic Version of The Big Sleep Humphrey Bogart, Lauren Bacall Made 1945. This Is One Of The Best The Two Actors Were Born For!
Howard Hawks Best Director of its Time. The Snappy Character Encounters, The Brisk dialogue and Pace gives a Sultry but Romantic Mood also to the Audience as well. This Is Rare in Today's Writer's But we still have a Hunger for American Films. This is the Best Profession Today I Believe. I would of ben like Hemingway's Thinking of Scripts. And Hawks way Of Directing Movies.

I was misled by the seller who also claimed that I had agreed to terminate the purcahse, which I had not.
