Re The Fallen Sparrow movie again.
>(Quoted in "John Garfield: His Life and Films"
by--ahem--Jim Beaver.)
Jim! I didn't realize you were on the list--I'm also a
Garfield fan. They Made Me a Criminal (1939) is a favorite,
and I ready your book enthusiastically many years ago--early
80's, I think?
Bill Hagen wrote of the novel that I was focusing on a point
when the novel become interesting, and I will probably agree
when I read it. I like Hughes a great deal. Her brand of
psychological suspense is often riveting. I possibly gave an
unfair impression of her work when I cited the example
of
"footsteps!!" from the film. For great books-into-movies, I'd
still go with In a Lonely Place or Ride the Pink Horse. (Of
the latter, Pauline Kael wrote, "nobody in his right mind
would imitate it." haha!)
