The Big Sleep
Meet Philip Marlowe. The toughest private eye who ever wore a trench coat, slapped a dame and split his knuckles on a jawbone.
Directed by Michael Winner
Produced by ITC Entertainment, Winkast Film Productions
A classic noir detective mystery built on cynicism, moral ambiguity, and the seedy underbelly of wealth and corruption.
Private eye Philip Marlowe investigates a case of blackmail involving the two wild daughters of a rich general, a pornographer and a gangster.
