Great scene from The Big Sleep. I love book stores. A movie from the time when women were women, knew their books and loved their Rye.

This is an example of why most of the movies in my list of favorites (which I posted in a comment a while back) are black and white. The dialogue is smarter, the characters are grown-ups, and the women are nothing like the chumps that latter-day feminists made them out to be.

There was a style to these films that is seldom seen today. They knew the power of understatement.
