Unfortunately, most of those films are as difficult to find
as Goodis'
novels. On the rumor front, apparently the director of House
of Yes, Mark
Waters has written a screenplay for Nightfall for Bandeira
Entertainment. I
checked their website, but it is unavailable at present time.
And for any
Hitchcock fans out there, I also found some indication that
Goodis wrote an
episode of the original Alfred Hitchcock Hour called, "An Out
for Oscar." I
don't know the air date. Anyone?
