More L.A. Noir: "The Big Sleep"

BOGART as Chandler's Marlowe

The Other Chandler: Raymond Chandler

A LITTLE taste of a documentary about the life of writer Raymond Chandler who in many ways became the "noir laureate" of Los Angeles. His detective, Philip Marlowe knew how to navigate the seamy streets and broken-down souls of Los Angeles. In this little snip you'll see and hear some of the themes we've already been talking and reading about.
