Raymond Chandler’s fast-talking, trouble-seeking private eye Philip Marlowe is a different kind of detective: a moral man in an amoral world. “The Big Sleep” finds the world-weary, wisecracking investigator consulted by a wealthy family man with two big problems: his children. Carmen has got herself mixed up with a blackmailer, while Vivian has managed to mislay her husband, ex-bootlegger Rusty Regan. Old, ailing General Sternwood hires Marlowe to take care of things—but it’s not too long before the bodies start piling up, and Marlowe finds himself knee-deep in trouble.
