   What's so special about the Big Sleep?

   • "The notable thing about The Big Sleep," he tells BBC Culture, "is that it adheres to restricted narration: it only shows what one person sees and hears – in this instance Marlowe. Because the main events happen near the film's beginning, Marlowe knows little about the story, which means that spectators know little, too.

   • But there's also no disputing that it's hard to know what exactly is going on. When The Big Sleep came out in 1946, the New York Times's Bosley Crowther pronounced it "a web of utter bafflement... in which so many cryptic things occur amid so much involved and devious plotting that the mind becomes utterly confused".

   Does the Big Sleep have a 'well-told story'?

   • But it would be wrong to say that The Big Sleep doesn't have a "well-told story". As knotty as the plot may be, the labyrinthine structure isn't a defect that is balanced out by Bogie-and-Bogart's smouldering interplay. On the contrary, the fact that your mind has to race to keep up with Marlowe's is a major part of the film's appeal.
