The movie The Big Sleep is a great tale and produced in classic film noir style that is full of twist and trickery as crime stories go, and the lead character shares a kinship to the anti-hero detective Sam Spade featured in The Maltese Falcon (1941) five years earlier, not just because it was played by the…
