Artist's Description
"The Big Sleep" is one of the defining film noirs, staring Humphrey Bogart and his new bride Lauren Bacall. There are two versions of this film, the second added some William Faulkner (1897-1962) written repartee. Director Howard Hawks hired the Nobel Prize Winning writer when they needed each other.
Their last collaboration, "Land of the Pharaohs," was so ill received that Hawks retired from filming until he returned four years later with the classic "Rio Bravo" starring Duke Wayne and a surprising effective Dean Martin (1917-1996).
Humphrey DeForest Bogart (1899-1957) died in his sleep of throat cancer. John Huston in delivering the eulogy at the funeral said that, "He is quite irreplaceable, There will never be anybody like him."
Huston was instrumental in creating the Bogie myth starting with his first film as director, "The Maltese Falcon."
This is the New York Times take on "Falcon."

While at the U of A, I studied with the master black and white photo essayist W. Eugene Smith (1918-1978) the last year of his life. I am the last person cited in Jim Hughes' definitive biography of Gene, as I wrote about attending his final...
