I think George P. is referring to the "Film Ink" series
recently published in the UK by Prion Books. The series is
built around books made into classic noir films, and includes
such titles as "Thieves Like Us" by Edward Anderson,
"Build My Gallows High", by Geoffrey Homes (the source of
"Out of the Past")
"The Bad Seed", by William March, "The Night of the
Hunter" by Davis Grubb,
"Down There (Shoot the Piano Player)" and "Dark Passage" by
David Goodis,
"The Asphalt Jungle" by W.R. Burnett and others. All easily
available through amazon.co.uk.
(I tried mailing this to the list without success a week or
two ago when the topic was fresh and didn't have a chance to
re-mail until now. Hope everyone still finds it useful, if a
bit stale. Turns out the new AOL 6.0 supports formatted/HTML
messages, so my emails were going out in both plain text and
formatted versions and getting rejected. The way to deal with
this so your messages can through to the list is to: type
your message in Arial, highlight the message, rightclick and
select normal.)
