In 1946, Warner Brothers produced a noirish film based on Chandler's novel, The Big Sleep. The film, starring "Bogie and Bacall," was a success, despite its convoluted plot, script that changed during filming, Hays Code censorship, and some reviewers' conviction that Bacall couldn't act. Cast of the film listed on p. 2. List of other books into movies on rear jacket flap. Paper likely browned due to cheap wartime quality.
