I remember reading once that the writers didn’t even know what was going on all the time. I think maybe even Chandler didn’t know who murdered everyone, but I may be making that up. :

What an interesting thing to do! YOu have set up your own cinema-appreciation course. I am impressed. And I am going to rent the movie (that’s all. I’m lazy. Plus I have your comments on the screenplay already). Thanks for sharing.

The chemistry between Bogart and Bacall was what made the story interesting. You did a lot of extra work to get answers. I was not that studious, although I did read several online reviews, and realized that some of the confusion was because of the loose ends in the movie. And then I didn’t feel so silly for not getting it.
Great post, Margot!

I haven’t seen this in a log time, but I don’t remember being confused. Now you’re making me want to see it again. Maybe I just wasn’t paying close enough attention.
