Title: Super Star cast typical remake lack of recreation
Product review: I bought the original 1946 version from AMAZON and loved it. The DVD included 2 versions and I enjoyed sitting through both. It has suspense, lots of bodies, killers known and unknown. The remake was set in Britain and its 1978 English adaptation of Raymond Chandler's famous "The Big Sleep," was a let down. Robert Miotchem was super and held the weak movie together. The "R" rating was because of the two "perky" women showing skin which highlights their unstable character ,and beauty, but little else. The plot in both stories was complicated but the 1978 version ending was lacking in closure. I bought the 1978 version used and the Jimmy Steward title on the cover was just a bit part. I can't rate this movie over 2.5 stars and it hurts me to do so given the legendary character of the star strewn cast.
