I watched the old movie The Big Sleep last night on my new TV set. The technical quality of the film was OK so I tried to take a few pictures of the sreen, while watching this Hollywood classic, directed by Howard Hawks and starring Humphrey Borgart and Lauren Bacall.
The film is based on the novel by Raymond Chandler and another famous writer, William Faulkner was involved in writing the screen play.

Grave of Robert Holt Hindman near Ripley, Mississippi. As the epitaph indicates, Hindman had the misfortune of being killed by William C. Falkner of Ripley in 1849. Falkner would go on to become a planter, lawyer, a colonel in the Civil War, a railroad entrepreneur, and a best-selling novelist (for "The White Rose of Memphis") before being killed himself by a former business partner. Falkner is today most famous, however, for being the namesake of his great-grandson, the Nobel Prize-winning novelist William Faulkner.

"The Big Sleep" is one of the defining film noirs, starring Bogie and his new bride Lauren Bacall. There are two versions of this film, the second added some William Faulkner (1897-1962) written repartee. Director Howard Hawks hired the Nobel Prize winning writer when they both needed each other. Their last collaboration, "Land of the Pharaohs," was so ill received that Hawks retired from filming until he returned four years later with the classic "Rio Bravo" starring Duke Wayne and a surprisingly effective Dean Martin (1917-1996).
Humphrey DeForest Bogart (1899-1957) died in his sleep of throat cancer. John Huston in delivering the eulogy at the funeral said that, "He is quite irreplacable. There will never be anybody like him."

The ideal woman which is in every man's mind is evoked by a word or phrase or the shape of her wrist, her hand. The most beautiful description of a woman is by understatement. Remember, all Tolstoy ever said to describe Anna Karenina was that she was beautiful and could see in the dark like a cat. Every man has a different idea of what is beautiful, and it's best to take the gesture, the shadow of the branch, and let the mind create the tree.
--- William Faulkner
