Jacques Tourneur directed some nice b&w horror films like this one, Cat People, I Walked With A Zombie and my favorite The Night Of The Demon, all very creepy and atmospheric. Jacques Tourneur of course directed probably the greatest of all film noirs, Out Of The Past (1947) with Robert Mitchum and Kirk Douglas, considered by most critics to be the quintessential example of the genre.

The Big Sleep is one of my favorite films of all time. And what's more, it is truffled full of gorgeous women.


The very saucy lady cab driver who asks Bogart out on a date, Joy Barlow, offering him a "ride".



Lady cabbie: "Listen if you ever need a ride again . . ."

Marlow: "Day or night?"

Lady cabbie: "Night. I work during the day."


The bookstore scene with the lovely Dorothy Malone.




The incredible Martha Vickers.






The wonderful Peggy Knudsen




The beautifully elegant Sonia Darrin




The incomparable Lauren Bacall.




along with the extraordinarily sexy club hat check girl, Lorraine Miller.
