The Big Sleep (hmv Exclusive) The Premium Collection

£9.99

Released: 16th June 2025. L.A. private eye Philip Marlowe (Humphrey Bogart) takes on a blackmail case... and follows a trail peopled with murderers, pornographers, nightclub rogues, the spoiled rich and more. Raymond Chandler’s legendary gumshoe solves it in hard-boiled style — and style is what The Big Sleep is all about. Director Howard Hawks serves up snappy character encounters (particularly those of Bogart and Lauren Bacall), brisk pace and atmosphere galore. This Blu-ray® doubles your pleasure, offering two versions of this whodunit supreme: the familiar 1946 theatrical version, full of reedit scenes of incendiary Bogart/Bacall chemistry, and the less-familiar 1945 prerelease version, as a special feature, whose plot and resolution are more linear in fashion. Extra Content: 1945 Alternate Version The Big Sleep Comparisons 1945/1946 Introduction by Robert Gitt Theatrical Trailer
