Editorial Reviews

Journalist-turned-movie producer Clark here puts on his gumshoes to follow Raymond Chandler's trail through Hollywood in the 1940s and 1950s. This volume is part Chandler biography, part filmography as it covers in detail all the films he ever scripted or that were adapted from his fiction. As did most serious novelists who slummed in the movies for easy money, Chandler detested Hollywood, and his contempt led mostly to failure as a screenwriter. Though Double Indemnity, The Blue Dahlia, and Strangers on a Train are considered classics, his scripts for them were doctored by seasoned screenwriters who deserve much of the credit for their success. The book chronicles its subject's actions well enough but depends too heavily on blow-by-blow film plot synopses, which anyone interested enough in Chandler to read the book would likely already know. A marginal purchase.Michael Rogers, "Library Journal"
