I'm going to see a classic old movie from 1946, The Big Sleep, starring Humphrey Bogart and Lauren Bacall, at the DOC movie theater in Chicago, tonight. According to IMBD: "Private detective Philip Marlowe is hired by a rich family. Before the complex case is over, he's seen murder, blackmail, and what might be love." The American Film Institute ranked Bogart as the greatest male star in the history of American cinema. Bogart and Bacall met in 1944 on the set of "To Have and Have Not" and married the following year. Director Howard Hawks said that it was Bacall's character (Marie) that Bogart had fallen for "so she had to keep playing it the rest of her life."
