Nickname: The Look

Lauren Bacall as Vivian Rutledge and Humphrey Bogart as Philip Marlowe in "The big sleep" (1946)

"It all duly happened in 1946 when Bogart's trench-coated casual masculinity crashed with devastating effect with the delectable blonde look of Lauren Bacall".
"The style element of The Big Sleep comes firstly, from the icy cool voice of the narrator and then largely from the use of language. With amazing ease, Chandler strews similes and one-liners across the pages until it begins to seem completely natural. The first blonde who enters the book is seen to have “little sharp predatory teeth, as white as fresh orange pith and as shiny as porcelain.” She is the same one whose face falls “apart like a bride's pie crust” and into whose eyes, when he brushes aside her literally naked advances, doubt creeps in “noiselessly, like a cat in long grass stalking a young blackbird.” Source: www.thehindu.com

SYDNEY CONFIDENTIAL Jake Gyllenhaal & Anne Hathaway arrive for their movie premiere, and Kristy Hinze throws a birthday party on her husband's yacht in Sydney.


On his day off, Sydney's restaurants held the greatest appeal for Gyllenhaal.
"I tried to eat my way around Sydney. I'm kind of a foodie and it was really, really incredible food," Gyllenhaal said, scoffing at rumours he'd gone for a surf on Bondi Beach."I went to some really wonderful restaurants and sat out in the sun and ran into people who I had no idea were in Sydney and had a wonderful time.

"The only other city I know in the world that's like that - but without the beautiful beaches - is New York City, where I run into people all the time." Source: tvnz.co.nz
