To answer my own post, after much searching I believe it's "The Big Sleep" from 1946. Not sure who started saying the film is about someone with a personality disorder but that is not the case! Very interesting stuff after reading the plot synopsis though http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Big_Sleep_(1946_film)

Also a few interesting tidbits from IMDB reviews:

-"In the original print, Bacall is presented in a few scenes wearing a distracting veil" hmmmm 

-" The plot starts simply but quickly becomes a much more complex beast that moves beyond the issue of blackmail and into murder and lies.  For many viewers, this will be a challenge - so many characters come and go in a short period that it is hard to keep track of how they all relate to each other, and the fact that we're not always supposed to know the connections just makes it more difficult at times. " 

''-"M uch has been made of the complexity of the "The Big Sleep", and deservedly so. On my latest viewing, I took pen in hand to keep track of the characters and situations. That only helped so much." ''

''-" THE BIG SLEEP has a reputation for being a film that gets lost in its own complexity and which fails to clearly identify all the perpetrators of all the murders that litter its scenes." ''

Sound familiar? Now I desparately want to see this movie!
