I listened to parts of the youtube audio book and then watched the cool adaption down noir alley lol, and both were just fine very fine fine works of art...
There was I thought crucial line in the book that no one brought up in the screenplay - 'How did the perp know who the cops were when clad in civilian rags?" But that is neither here nor there, the film was a fine adaptation...and as sweet as the prose narrative was, it can't match the classic acting here, the dames , the bad guys, the tough cops and everything its too much... and yet there is a time limit that is scarce 1:15 compared to the book over 6:.... so that's saying something!
But regardless, this was a cool overall film. From start to finish it does grip you and the end to me, as twacked out as it seems, all weirdly convoluted and very odd, I heard a line I have never heard before used on dame! - Big head hauncho cop says to the dame - Ah, get this bum outta here!' hahhaah
I still don't know what and who and why this wise guy got to this guy and why this guy is trying to kill and rape her and him and god knows what! - the subs on youtube are so wakzed out that , well , at least we get to see the film which is very very nice... as it should be these black & white classics need to showcased somewhere, the best part of 'em are the scenes wholly smeared with melodrama, omg, that's heaven! lol...
So wait, was this dame a bum when she was married to the cop or after?
