Rating: 6/10 --
To watch The Big Sleep is to witness a distinctly American film genre at the heights of its power, nonsensical plot notwithstanding.

The Retro Set
It is a fast-moving drama, knee-deep in corpses, as tough as they come. It is rather'difficult to keep track of who is murdering whom and why, but there is not time to worry about such details with so many bullets flying around.

The plot is a bundle of confusions, but who cares? Few films have made cigarettes seem so glamorous. Or had such seductive repartee.

There has probably never been so much plot in a film -- but it doesn't seem to matter. It, all looks very exciting, and if you follow half of it you'll get through.

Rating: 5/5 --
The Big Sleep is the best scripted, best directed, best acted, and least comprehensible film noir ever made.

Daily Telegraph (UK)
The Big Sleep is wakeful fare for folks who don't care what is going on, or why, so long as the talk is hard and the action harder.

"I don't like your manners." "I don't like them myself. They're pretty bad... I grieve over them on long winter evenings."

Description by OLDIES.com:
