FRI APRIL 1, 2022 4:00 PM THE BIG SLEEP $8.00 (member) ; $13.00 (general admission) Los Feliz 3 | ‘A KETTLE OF HAWKS: 12 Films from Howard Hawks’ Series Tickets are no longer on sale for this event.
ABOUT THE FILM: The second of the Bacall-Bogart-Hawks collaborations turns Raymond Chandler’s acidic novel into a surprisingly exuberant piece of escapist entertainment. Packed with quotable lines (courtesy not only of Chandler but screenwriters William Faulkner, Leigh Brackett and Jules Furthman) and colorful supporting players (including Dorothy Malone and Elisha Cook Jr.), it’s both an elaborately plotted detective story and a breezy (and hilarious) romantic comedy. Bogart is sardonic private eye Philip Marlowe and Bacall is the fast and funny daughter of his wealthy and mysterious client. FORMAT: 35mm DISTRIBUTOR: Warner Bros. / Park Circus
