Veteran editor Day deftly interweaves Chandler's words ("There is nothing to write about but death, and the detective story is a tragedy with a happy ending") with his own observations on the author and his time. A particular treat for readers interested in Chandler's life and career, crime writing, or Hollywood culture up to the middle of the last century. [See Prepub Alert, 5/12/14.]
Fans of Chandler and old-time detective stories and radio dramas will enjoy this adaptation. The roughly 90-minute running time makes it doable in a single sitting.
