The Big Sleep - Prank Call

slick scene from a classic.

[@mustangpatty51]

What a pair. Love them together. I heard Bogie wanted that scene in the movie. Lauren and him were playing around and they liked it so much they asked if it could be put in the movie...

When u find yr player, tennis is at stake..

[@kentuckysugarbear9644]

It’s WAY better than the original scene where she wears that stupid face veil.

[@AutPen38]

Brilliant film. The dialogue is so clever, and the chemistry between Bogey and Bacall was amazing.

[@Hard_Boiled_Entertainment]

I just get a kick out of the fact that we can hear the sergeant's lines as he gets increasingly aggravated by the insanity.😂

[@joeburns4294]

[@NGS712]

I like how you can hear the Sergeant's reaction. ;)

[@Hard_Boiled_Entertainment]

" _I_ don't wanna talk to your _mother_ ...!" 😂

[@sharpasaneraser]

R.I.P. The first prank call ever by Dog-house Riley and Legs Bacall.

[@HonkytonkSue2]

This is pricelesss! Bogie and Bacall had Chemistry!

[@dannydarcy2298]

I love this scene, very funny, not written by the author D.Hammett but written for the film by Warner Brothers screen writers, also the line Is he as cute as you? Bogie, -Nobody is.

[@BebopMan]

That's Raymond Chandler. Hammett wrote Red Harvest & The Maltese Falcon.

[@dannydarcy2298]

Thanks for reminding me BH, i knew i had too much to drink when i wrote it, of course it was R.Chandler, I knew that. Hope you found the scene funny which was the whole point of posting it.

LIBRARIAN―You know, you don’t look like a man who would be interested in first editions. MARLOWE―I collect blondes and bottles, too.

[@TheMaverickanupam]

In the novels, Marlowe is too cynical to participate in such playful behavior.

[@CassandrashadowcassMorrison]

@@BebopMan And The Thin Man and The Dain Curse and....

[@Muirmaiden]

They look like they had fun with this scene.

[@PepperWilliams_songcovers]

It takes many viewings of this classic to really understand what's going on.......but the ride is well worth it!!!

[@AutPen38]

Ramond Chandler couldn't even understand the plot and he wrote the book!

[@tanitatt]

Her slow cadence and silky smooth voice …

[@patricebest545]

Great scene and movie HB had to wait 57 yrs for her to join him Glad they're together again rip HB and LB

[@raoulmorris]

It isn't a "Prank Call" She calls his bluff and he takes on the gag. But a truly great scene

[@fritzwilhelm8258]

It's based on a prank call almost as old as the telephone.

[@benderbendingrofriguez3300]

and here I always thought that back in the '40s people were serious and conservatives.

[@seandafny]

Lol me too !!! Im learning so much about that time (at least i feel like i am) by watching these movies. Its so interesting to find out that they werent so different after all. Its really all the same themes. That is unless somehow we have become a sort of caricature of ourselves, or our view of ourselves in movies has actually come to be real which i doubt

[@hawkeyeten2450]

Ha! The 50s even more so. You will not believe the naughty ads I have seen in 40s and 50s magazines (such as ones aimed at couples wanting to "have fun"). Plus, they had screaming girls at jazz/swing concerts, called the "bobbysoxers" (Sinatra nearly caused a riot of young women at one of his early performances). Not sure where the stoic, puritan stereotype came from, but it definitely isn't accurate. Young guys and gals did pretty wild and sometimes dumb stuff even then.

[@duran3d]

Nah, they only dressed better.

[@tuxguys]

(The Fifth "Bogey" Film.) CHEMISTRY. Their second film together, they were already an item, and although this couldn't possibly be improvised, it gives the impression that it is.

[@valentinolover70]

Great scene. Very funny. I always loved Bogart., Great actor I thought he was so sexy. Thanx for posting.

[@duran3d]

He was a great actor and had an impressive presence. Not to mention Bacall.

[@jorgeh71]

Beautiful scene! Great to share with my students. Thanks for the video

[@adriannespring8598]

Fucking epic classic!!!

[@robertdoby4844]

Bogie and Bacall were the best there every was and still to this day. The trash impersonating as films today is not even in the same league and barely even in the same game as movie greats like this.

[@aguilayserpiente]

Thank you Mr. Lance.

[@dariant8408]

Still one of my most favorite scene's...

[@aaronstark5060]

I like how you can hear what the cop is saying until he tells Marlowe what he can do and where,

[@billthestinker]

Bogie keeps adjusting his trousers because that monster wants to play with Lauren

[@mikmac220]

Humphrey I keep getting a prank call, some geezer keeps asking me what colour knickers I'm wearing... Give me that phone, hey mate why do you want to know what colour knickers my bird is wearing... Geezer:- "It's called dirty phone calls" Humphrey:- "My bird is wearing clean knickers, I'm wearing her dirty knickers" Geezer:- "You kinky bogey"

[@maverickwonder2477]

The days when you could actually hear and understand what the actors were saying, whereas now they mumble, jabber, and mutter. I don’t know if it’s because they don’t know how to project their voice, it’s some ridiculous acting fad or poor sound work. Likewise I’m tired of cameras being so far in people’s faces you can actually see their pores! I watched an old 40s black ‘n’ white not so long ago; the protagonist walks into a room, there’s a long shot of him and the full room so the audience gets a sense of place and atmosphere. As he walks around the room the camera follows him from a distance. You feel like you’re in the room with him. It was one, long, beautiful continuous shot. These days the camera flits around like a flea with Saint Vitus Dance. All the modern so-called film makers should be made to watch these masterful old films so they can learn how to star, direct and produce quality movies like this masterpiece.

[@DomWrath]

lmao. we learn the best things from television

[@stevekaczynski3793]

I wonder if the sergeant ever did trace that call?

[@LeafRazorStorm]

that's all fine and good but who's on first?

[@СветланаГрицай-р4б]

Отдыхаешь душой

[@transvestosaurus878]

Hooooooo they fuckin'

[@TheBrerikaShow]

Is it possible that you can enable the emedding option? I very much want and NEED to use this for a presentation for my AP U.S history class. I would very much appreciate it :) Please and Thank you.

[@32ModB]

A little "fun" about the age gap❤

[@SaphMB]

I love that scene. There's a video of this in colour floating around; it just doesn't feel right

[@fritzwilhelm8258]

"Hey mister, have you got Prince Albert in a can? Is his refrigerator running?"

[@DarkCreed]

I don't wanna talk to your father or his mother

[@noreensumey1904]

❤ Humphrey Bogart ❤ ❤ Lauren Bacall ❤

[@nathanoliver9078]

Real acting unlike like dis garbage of 2day.Avengers an all dat rubbish is 4 kids.I want 2 watch 2 watch real acting like dis agen

[@thelegendaryblackbeastofaa115]

And on the other side of that phone line stands a confused Niles Standish.

[@russs7574]

Still the greatest film couple ever. Bogie and Bacall were epic.

[@automaticmattywhack1470]

Literally my favorite movie of all time. I just reread the book and finished it yesterday.

[@darkar138]

I saw the movie firts, yesterday i read the complete novel... Men, you could see the diferences between the two products, but i think i like the novel most

[@myahollandia3552]

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣funny scene

[@Elfulus5]

This scene is amazing...LOOKING FOR THE ITALIAN VERSION here on youtube!!!!

[@PlayIt4MeAgainSam]

Bogie & Bacall were great. with all the twists that occurred in making this film, the one consistent was Bogie & Bacall! SO glad that the colorized version is NOT avail. anymore...it's a classic 'film noir'!

[@TommasoBartolini]

It feels like one of those Family Guy gags that goes on and on 😂

[@kenneth7826]

Loved it!!!!! BOGIE AND BACALL

[@zachdaniels8484]

and thus the prank phone call experience was born!.

[@Dominik-ik6qq]

The Big Sleep movie here => twitter.com/28f5c8c3097f3ca13/status/822789962294652929

[@Liz86000]

LOL! Loved it! :)

[@noreensumey1904]

One of my favorite parts of the movie!!!!

[@guytemam1151]

Frankly, WHO understood the story of « The Big Sleep » ? Neither Raymond Chandler, who wrote the book, nor Howard Hawks, who made the movie !! Unbelievable, but TRUE !!!

[@tabishkuma]

It's about the mystery of what happened to Vivian's husband.

[@Neville007]

The book doesn't entirely make sense, Raymond Chandler had to admit it to Hawks and Faulkner. The film does. Sort of. Seems that pretty much every bad guy in town is shaking up the Sternwoods, either about Carmen's racy pictures or because they know what really happened to that Regan guy. And at the same time, Vivian (Lauren Bacall) is also trying to prevent Marlowe and his father to find out what happened to Regan because it's ugly and it would raise more questions.

[@duran3d]

It really doesn't matter.

[@Telstar62a]

There was a "pre-release" version from about a year before; they re-shot and changed some scenes, there's also a sort of summary scene to catch the audience up. Still like the second version better, even just to "go along for the ride". Everything kind of swirls around, but it's just a joy to watch.
