Here's the latest, as always any corrections would be most
appreciated.
Also what's the consensus on this: 255. Walter Huff &
Phyllis Nirdlinger (DOUBLE INDEMNITY, Paul Cain) 256. Walter
Huff (DOUBLE INDEMNITY, Paul Cain)
Obviously one sees the characters as a duo, and one sees
Walter Huff as a separate entity?
Thanks! Joe D.
