À Beira do Abismo

A história

O detetive privado Philip Marlowe é contratado por uma família rica. Antes que o caso complexo termine, ele presenciou assassinato, chantagem e o que poderia ser amor.
The Big Sleep é uma história do detetive privado Philip Marlowe, que é contratado por um rico general para descobrir e impedir que sua filha mais nova, Carmen, seja chantageada por suas dívidas de jogo. As coisas quase imediatamente se desvendam e explodem, enquanto Marlowe se vê profundamente emaranhado numa teia de triângulos amorosos, chantagem, assassinato, jogo e crime organizado. Marlowe, com a ajuda da filha mais velha do General, Vivian, habilmente trama para libertar a família desta teia.
