Movie Reviews:

• Andres Gomez: Oh, man, what a movie!

  Perfect on every sense. Great cast, with terrific Bogart and Bacall. Complex and interesting plot and smart dialogues. Only “funny” thing, if we want to say something, is the “perception” of the women roles in the movie. They are strangely all sexy and attracted to and tempting Philip Marlow.

• talisencrw: This continues the incredible run of films Bogie made with now-wife Lauren Bacall. Crackling script ran to perfection by Howard Hawks. Essential, especially for fans of detective thrillers or simply well-made movies.
