"After a winning game of Skee Ball in an Arcade, they had exhaustive sex together (to the tune of Neil Sedaka'sCalendar Girl), seen in a time-lapsed montage of brief holiday-themed sex scenes.As the two approached Dixie's home (at 111th and Larch Streets) to question her, the house suddenly exploded before their eyes.The Big Sleepis the best example of a classic Warner Bros.mystery.It is a very complex, confusing, logic-defying whodunit with a quintessential private detective (Marlowe), false leads, unforgettable dialogue and wisecracks, raw-edged characters, sexy women (including the two daughters of a dying millionaire, a bookseller, and others), tough action, gunplay, a series of electrifying scenes, and screen violence.Spock ordered he crew to completely evacuate and abandon the ship via shuttles, but they refused to let him sacrifice himself.And this was screenwriter/producer James Hill's first film as a full member of the newly-named HHL (Hecht-Hill-Lancaster) production company (formed in 1953) - but it became the company's first major box-office failure.
