Chandler and Hollywood: Poisonous Marriage w/ Beautiful Kids, November 12, 2001
Reviewer:
Martin Lewison
from Monticello, AR United States
A very interesting and thorough examination of the film-related work of mystery legend Raymond Chandler, creator of the ultimate film noir gumshoe, Phillip Marlowe. The books follows Chandler's career and work from pulpy dime detective story-writer, to novelist, to screenwriter. Chandler was an odd, cantankerous fellow who hated working in Hollywood, but the character he created is forever in the pantheon of American detective film heroes.
