Philip Marlowe - The Big Sleep

Raymond Chandler's world-weary private eye tackles a wealthy family's case of blackmail - and murder. Stars Ed Bishop.

General Sternwood's daughters came in both the colours of trouble - blonde and brunette - and they had all the usual vices.

With $4,000,000 behind them, blackmail was only a matter of time. And blackmail can be murder.

It's another case for private eye Philip Marlowe.

Starring Ed Bishop.

Marlowe is Raymond Chandler's cynical, world-weary, wise-cracking shamus whose honesty in a dishonest world sent him down the mean streets again and again in search of some kind of justice...
