Radio play review - "The Big Sleep" by Raymond Chandler

 This play was performed with Toby Stephens. This really is the best Chandler - tight storyline, fantastic dialogue, and most of all it has the most memorable characters: Carmen the sexy crazed "nympho", dying General Sternwood, gangster Eddie Mars (maybe the character isn't that awesome  but the name is), Geiger the blackmailer, stoolie Brody, the never-seen enigmatic Irish soldier of fortune Regan who should've been given his own prequel series (did he inspire that Irish character in Boardwalk Empire?) Brilliant opening and great sequences like the shoot out at the garage and Carmen going nuts.
