Treatment of Women in The Big Sleep, the Movie :: Movie Film comparison compare contrast

Treatment of Women in The loose short sleep, the Movie recital    Often, we hear commentary roughly films that reading the book before honoring the movie ruins the experience or that movies are never as mature as the book on which it is based. The difference amidst forms is not as much about already knowing how the story ends as it is about the dumbing down of the work for a broader audience. However, Chandler wrote The Big Sleep as a piece of pulp fiction that was read by a bragging(a) populace.   So, with this knowledge, I expected my experience with the 1946 film recitation of The Big Sleep to be less than stellar. As I watched the film version, one dazzling difference stood out the romance between Vivian Reagan and Phillip Marlowe which did not exist in Chandlers book. Overall, there is a sink difference in the treatment of Marlowes response to womyyn.   Shot during wartime, the film turns the draft induced man shortage into a satyrs fanta sy sloe-eyed heiresses, harsh-slingers with come hither looks, and horny lady cab drivers brazenly proposition Marlowe, who regrettably stiff-arms most of them in the name of business. (Hagopian) Two clear exceptions seen in the movie to the hands off, all work and no playfulness attitude of Phillip Marlowe from the book are the romantic relationship with Vivian Reagan and the afternoon parcelling with a bookstore clerk.   The most obvious reason for the change in the relationship between Vivian Regan and Phillip Marlowe is the movie studios rationale behind producing Hawkes film version of The Big Sleep. Lauren Bacall, who plays Vivian Regan, and Humphrey Bogart, who plays Marlowe, had developd a successful pairing previously in To sire and Have Not. Warner Brothers asked Howard Hawkes to find another script to work around Bacall and Bogart to create another box office smash hit. The piece that Hawkes choose was Chandlers The Big Sleep. So, Hawkes intention was not to be true to Chandlers version of The Big Sleep, notwithstanding instead to merely dupilcate the monetary success of To Have and Have Not. In order to maintain the element of romance between Bogart and Bacall which was a differentiate ingredient to the success of To Have and Have Not, Hawkes had to create romance between Marlowe and Vivian which was not part of Chandlers version of The Big Sleep.
