Sleep

The Big Sleep (1978)

Remake of the Bogart-Bacall film noir classic.

Set and filmed in London with an all-star cast (including Jimmy Stewart and Joan Collins).

Robert Mitchum as Raymond Chandler's private detective Phillip Marlowe.

Oliver Reed (always one of my favorites) is excellent as a gangster.

Richard Boone does a great job as a very creepy villain (a far cry from his role as Paladin in Have Gun, Will Travel).
