Frye Boots In The Big Sleep (1978)

The Big Sleep (1946) is one of my favorite movies. Bogart and Bacall are so electric and the writing so snappy that you can overlook the fact that it makes NO SENSE.  In the 1978 remake they cast Sarah Miles in the Lauren Bacall role which is very definition of downgrade, but the newer film has two saving graces. The 1978 version makes sense and includes all the nicety of plot details omitted from the first. And in one scene Sarah sports a pair of (probably) Frye boots. She's nice enough to plop them up on a desk for close inspection. I'd venture that the tall campus Frye is THE iconic boot of the late 70's. This boot was everywhere in my high school and college campuses. If you're in your mid-50's you probably have some fond memories of these boots.
