Description

The Big Sleep (Warner Brothers, 1946). One Sheet (27" X 41").
Raymond Chandler's Philip Marlowe is in over his head in this action-packed film noir that never lets up, filled with snappy dialogue and one convoluted plot. Humphrey Bogart and Lauren Bacall are dynamite together, as they are caught in a web of lies, counter-lies, murder, blackmail, lust, and greed. Paper from this classy noir is always a top prize, especially this iconic one sheet. In beautiful unrestored condition, it shows only a small tear at the top edge, minor crossfold separations, and tape stains at the top and bottom edges. Fine/Very Fine.
