The Big Sleep (1946) follows the tale of private investigator Philip Marlowe, portrayed by Humphrey Bogart, who is enlisted by General Sternwood, played by Charles Waldron, to handle a blackmailer. The General has two daughters: Vivian, portrayed by Lauren Bacall, who is both attractive and somewhat dubious, and Carmen, played by Martha Vickers, who is beautiful but completely unstable. Marlowe's mission is to locate the individual attempting to blackmail Carmen over gambling debts. However, before he can find the man, the blackmailer is found dead, with Carmen present in the same room. This discovery is merely the start of Marlowe's journey as he delves deeper into the murky underworld of Los Angeles.
