The Big Sleep poster, 1946 Femme Fatale Artwork, Humphrey Bogart and Lauren Bacall

Howard Hawks' iconic film noir The Big Sleep is best remembered as the second movie to star the sizzling hot team of Humphrey Bogart and Lauren Bacall.  • The watermark will not appear on the printed poster. The Big Sleep's costume designer was Leah Rhodes, one of the most prolific designers at Warner Brothers during the 1940s. Though clearly much of the style story of The Big Sleep has to do with Bogart and his iconic look--the staple trenchcoat alone!--it is Lauren who steals the show. The  houndstooth suit and beret combo sported by Bacall here is the best known outfit from The Big Sleep, and the publicity shots featured Bacall working what had been christened “The Look” – her unique way of holding her chin down and casting her eyes up as she spoke. Enjoy!
