Capturing a Golden Moment #20: The Big Sleep
The Big Sleep (1946)
Director: Howard Hawks
Scene: "Acme Book Shop"
In honour of the late Dorothy Malone (January 30, 1925 - January 19, 2018), here is her brief but sizzling scene as the Acme book store proprietress in The Big Sleep with Humphrey Bogart as private detective Philip Marlowe. Malone's on screen moments may be few, nevertheless, she matches Bogart's tenacity line for line, while managing to make quite a stylishly lasting impression of her own.
