Bogart and Bacall in The Big Sleep

[Poloniothx]

sexy & spicy dialog but with class...

[houseofgogo]

colorization is bastardization!

[fueyou]

Whoever colorized this should be pistol whipped by Phillip Marlow.

[PlayIt4MeAgainSam]

I know that Ted Turner was the one that loved playing with crayons. I don't know he "colorized" this film, however he owned MGM for a time just before he launch TCM. There was a time when a bunch of those Classics appeared on that station 'colorized'.

[kelb89]

It's crazy how adding color to a film completely changes it.

[GretaGarboGirl]

How did you get this in color?

[Reneedebruin]

@GretaGarboGirl I taped it from tv where it was in color.

[BCG99]

@nauort23 She says "I'll have a scoth mist".

Scotch Mist:

2 oz. blended scotch whisky

1/2 oz. St. Germain liqueur

1/2 oz. maraschino liqueur

1/2 oz. honey syrup (honey diluted 1:1 with water)

2 dashes Fee Brothers Barrel Aged Bitters

Stir ingredients in mixing glass, strain into a glass with a large ice cube and garnish with an orange twist and a rye-soaked cherry.

i have a deep voice like lauren's and her deep voice is actually what she is known for! makes me feel better

[nauort23]

@ 0:33 , what does Lauren Bacall order? She says, "I'll have a scotch [????]," to Max the waiter. Is it "misted"? She's not saying "soday", so don't say she is. Even in Dutch.

[blancmel21]

Dirty, suggestive, and brilliant. Innuendo is sexy as hell...

[legalglitz]

@blancmel21 - You're right. Innuendo is way sexier than the in your face, direct crap we see on tv today. (i.e. Jersey Shore) 

[TheRASPUZIO]

klote kleur!!!!!

[Wallylex]

-"I don't know how far you can go."

-"A lot depends on who's in the saddle."

I miss dialogue like this... very sexy, suggestive, but clean enough for a child to hear.

[XxParasite]

You can do noir in color, but you should set out to do it that way from the start. Don't just add it.

[any1gotamatch]

This is a film noir! It's a must see in B&W.

Interesting to see their colors...Bacall in that gold jacket, etc.

[voidforpurpose]

Mediocre colozation.

With the 1933 King Kong it actually improves the film, since it was a Technicolor kind of adventure, and whoever did the colorizing on that flick was an inspired expert, unlike this slopshod attemtpt.

THE BIG SLEEP, moody noir, works INFINITELY beltter in BxW.

[edwardjames50]

Colorization: UGH! Thank God Jane Fonda put a stop to Ted Turner's defiling of classic movies.

[dplomin1954]

THis is when colorization was really really bad. Notice the background seems to be mostly in B&W! Guess they got tired. Or lazy. I still don't understand it. People read B&W books, their Kindles aren't in splashing colors if they read novels that way. Are people just so averse to anything old that they have to jazz it up?!

[worddoctor1]

Thank GOD "colourization" never went anywhere!!! "Improving" on perfection is an obscenity and the people who did it criminals.

[Toonami2]

This looks fucking retarded in colour. 

[contemplativegirl21]

God, why don't we have movies like this these days? If this were remade, they would have been in bed in the first hour. The innuendos in conversation are so much more erotic than straight sex.

Hint-Hint, Hollywood!

;-)

[delsol123]

This is one of my favorite scenes......

[DavidCKendall]

Luv her gold jacket! I think colorizing is great! Sparks are flying!!

[duckyousuckr]

Painful.

[chomsky88]

"I don't know how far you can go." "That depends on who's in the saddle." I love it; some of the dirtiest dialogue imaginable and the censors couldn't do a thing about it. Or maybe they were too dumb to get what they were really talking about. Thank god no one colorizes films anymore though.

[es0puka841]

was looking for this scene

the dialogue from 1:40 to 3:00 is wicked - gotta love it!

[es0puka841]

the dialogue from 1:40 onwards is wicked!

[iamzbacku]

Black and White makes this a Classic.

[ginafaloola]

I prefer it in B&W, but it's still definitely interesting to see it in colour (somewhat. lol)

Thanks for sharing!

[theman2017inc]

@ginafaloola :-)

[TwinklezLP]

They were great together

[lennhart]

Classic FILM NOIR becomes FILM PASTEL...

Even, it is great to be able to see these memorable scenes again. Thanks for posting.

[SalamiKing7]

It looks so much better in B&W.

[theman2017inc]

@SalamiKing7 :-)

[Pauluk33]

i agree, its quiet shocking, but byyyyy god does she leave you breathless, blimey, sje actually looks better in colour, she radiates something shocking

[Pauluk33]

the original versin of the film did not have thie scene in it, the orignal film was filmed in 1944 and this scene was in his office, if you didnt know that, god in colour, shes absoltlu beautiful, blooody el, but yeah i agree on the colour

[77MommaBear96]

goodness, if this was filmed in '44 then she was only 20!

:)

[psychedelicinvasion]

Ahhh! Seeing this in color is so terrible to me, for some reason! I just don't like it at all! :O

[inkenyo]

I saw the original version... or something. lol. Cause I don't remember this scene.

[chrisfischerxxx]

Boooooooooo!  lol

[JillyGrant]

D: Color helps everything become a picture.. while b&w helps the actors emotional definitions. lol! I love it.

[gottamatch]

I knew that jacket was gold! You can tell even in the b&w.. this scene is not bad in colour, at least we can see her gorgeous jacket properly, however like everyone else I still prefer it in b&w..

I guess it would have been strange for people to see Wizard of Oz in colour for the first time too, but this is just strange!

Thanks very much for sharing!

[nina1414]

Oh, how I wish I were Lauren Bacall.

Humphrey Bogart.. they don't make men like you any more.

Face like a horse but a certain style, a certain class.... *sigh*

[madmax200769]

OMG Colour!!!!:O

[DCIK]

I love this movie. i see it every night before i go to sleep. its a classic., 1946 film. and i agree, its better in black and white. it the date on it and the kind of talking an the cars., and all that makes it cool in black n white. specially a `46 film. and its one of the best of bacalls., and humprey bogart films. theres also., The Maltese Falcon (1941),Casablanca (1942) witch i have all 3 and there excellent oldies. i give it 2 thumbs up in its traditional Black n White.

[R2k443]

I prefer the film in black and white more. It is interesting to see it in color though. Bogart and Bacall had real chemisty, there was just something about their scenes together that made it worth watching. Its also hard to believe that Bacall was only 21 when she filmed this movie and already she had a lot of talent beyond her years. You don't see much of her kind talent now a days.

[splashka]

Cmon if you don't like it colored then don't watch it. Bacall's voice is unique......

[ClaraDarko]

This dialogue is amazing, so suggestive... But I can't stand the image, the movie is supposed to be in black and white, it's perfect that way, why colorize it?

[sakara18235]

it still doesn't look anything like los angeles.

[voidforpurpose]

They forgot to colorize her coral rep lipstick.

So they should have skipped the entire cheezy attempt at tinting a noir classic at all.

Like painting over Rodin's marble "The Kiss".

[joesatana]

what the hell is this colorfull joke???

this is not the big sleep howard hawks did.

The great Sidney Hickox made a cinematographer masterpiece with light and shadows in this movie and now a bugger use all his crayolas to ruin it.

oh please!!! americans, someday you are going to paint in powerfull pink the smockey mountains or the statue of liberty

crazyfools!

[chanizz]

old things arent necessarily better, but this is

[demitri1011]

The truth is that people always think that old things are always better...

[gantock]

whats all this crap about " nowadays there aint such actors anymore " ? they said it in THOSE days, too ... the fact is that not ACTORS have gotten so bad but PRODUCERS have

[quornholio]

Oh, PLEASE! Can you imagine this scene "acted" by Brad Pitt and Gwyneth Paltrow?

No need to answer, the question answers itself.

[thadswanek]

Now there's a woman who knows how to smoke a cigarette. Damn.

[tedd909]

depends on who's in the saddle....front runner or come from behind....great lines

[000266617]

All that sexual horse talk. "In the saddle" sex terms, in all that. The censors had fits.

[Tru510Bay]

i watched this today in class in B&W

[vinciano]

i HHHHHHHate this shit color!!!!!

[JackDanielsDrink]

Yes I agree with you.But everyone must admit Bacall even in color look's great.Bogie also ;) Love this copule. <3

[cinemawonderland]

Ted Turner committed freaking sacrilege!!

"You cannot know the history of the movies, or love them, unless you understand why B&W can give more, not less, than color." (Roger Ebert)

[Gr8tCompany]

They make it seems so easy (acting) i feel like i'm easedropping on a private conversation.

Love the way they flert, I'm taking notes. : )

[dinkydober]

Why did some idiot add color to this movie? It is Film Noir, a style of film that uses black and white for suspense. In color, this clip is like a crummy daytime soap opera!
