I can't seem to find my copy at the moment, but in 1984 (I
think
Novemeber, but maybe October), Film Comment published an
issue with a
center section on hardboiled film. Among others, it contained
sections
on Thompson and Marc Behm, including movies based on their
novels and
their own screenplays, complete with short filmographies. Of
course,
since this was long before the Thompson revival it misses a
lot of
movies, including After Dark My Sweet, Grifters, etc.
Is 1000 Guns the European title of Pop. 1280? I thought that
was the
book Coup de Torchon was based on. Also, I have read of a
Thompson
adaptation called Serie Noire after Gallimard's imprint. Is
it based on
Hell of a Woman or is there another version of that book? And
are these
available in the States (with subtitles)?
