i've actually just been researching the new wave for a film
class i teach. according to a text book i read last night,
made in USA is ostensibly a remake of howard hawks' the big
sleep, with anna karina in the bogart role. however, the film
is actually a mass of self-reference, and the plot is
negligible at best.

But Godard made a couple of HB based films and this isn't
usually discussed, even in books about Godard. "Made in
U.S.A." is based on a Richard Stark novel ("The Jugger", I
believe) and "Pierrot le Fou" is based on Lionel White's
"Obsession". And "Alphaville" was very loosely based on Peter
Cheyney's Lemmy Caution books or rather the French films with
Eddie Constantine playing Caution.
