<< Thieves' Market was made into a first-rate film
entitled Thieves' Highway with Richard Conte and Lee J. Cobb,
directed by Jules Dassin. Also, there's an interview with
Bezzerides reprinted in The Big Book of Noir. If I remember
right, he refers to Spillane's Kiss Me Deadly as a "piece of
shit"! Quite a crusty old guy; don't know whether he's still
with us or not. >>
Thieves' Market sounds good (and so does that interview). I'm
pretty sure he's still alive, because a few months ago he
appeared at a museum's screening of They Drive By
Night.
