TAGLINE: "The type of man she hated . . . was the type she wanted!"- Classic Howard Hawks mystery thriller is one of the true masterpieces of film noir, based on Raymond Chandler's hardboiled novel, this film features some of the best double crosses and twists of any crime drama. This film introduced audiences to the hard-boiled, cynical private eye Philip Marlowe, masterfully portrayed by Humphrey Bogart. The movie features the unbeatable pairing of Bogart and Lauren Bacall, whose onscreen chemistry absolutely sets the screen to sizzling. A story of deception, betrayal and murder, this exciting film is a convoluted masterpiece, full of snappy dialogue from the outstanding cast. This movie gave Bogart a marvelous opportunity to demonstrate his considerable range as an actor, from tough-guy private eye to a suave romantic lead, with a bit of comedy thrown in. P.I. Philip Marlowe's hired by a wealthy general to find out and stop his daughter, Carmen from being blackmailed over gambling debts, Marlowe finds himself deep within a web of love triangles, blackmail, murder, gambling, and organised crime. With help from Vivian (another of the general's daughters), Marlowe hatches a plot to free the family from this web and trap the real culpri. CAST includes Humphrey Bogart, Lauren Bacall, Martha Vickers, Elisha Cook Jr, John Ridgely, Martha Vickers, Dorothy Malone, Louis Jean Heydt, Charles Waldron, Charles D. Brown, Bob Steele, Tom Fadden, Ben Welden, Sonia Darri. BEHIND THE SCENES TRIVIA : According to Lauren Bacall, production was such fun that they got a memo from Jack L. Warner saying, "Word has reached me that you are having fun on the set. This must stop." Due to Humphrey Bogart's affair with co-star Lauren Bacall, his marital problems escalated during filming, and his drinking often resulted in his being unable to work. Three months after the film was finished, Bacall and Bogart were married. On the first day of shooting, Humphrey Bogart allegedly had five or six drinks at lunch, which infuriated Howard Hawks, who berated Bogart for his unprofessionalism. After that he was limited to one beer. Raymond Chandler claimed that Martha Vickers gave such an intense performance as Carmen Sternwood that she completely overshadowed Lauren Bacall, and that much of Vickers' performance ended up on the cutting room floor as a result. Warner Bros. studio chief Jack L. Warner gave Howard Hawks $50,000 to purchase the rights for the source novel. Hawks bought the rights for $5,000 and pocketed the rest. According to film historian Jon Tuska, the purchase price was actually $10,000.
