The definitive hard-boiled noir, “The Big Sleep” pairs Humphrey Bogart and Lauren Bacall in a maze of blackmail, M**der, and double-crosses. The plot famously defies logic, but that’s beside the point. What matters is the mood, the dialogue, and the sexually charged rapport between its real-life couple stars. Smart, cynical, and endlessly rewatchable, this is noir in its purist form.
ONCE UPON A TIME IN HOLLYWOODLAND... is a series hosted and programmed by KCAI lecturer Kara Heitz looking at classic Hollywood films and history from the advent of sound to the birth of New Hollywood.
