This mention reminds me that the late Leigh Brackett mentored
Bradbury a lot during this period. If anyone on the list
hasn't checked out her collection of hard boiled stories from
the 40's then I would strongly suggest that you do so. NO
GOOD FROM A CORPSE. Apparently film director Howard Hawks was
so impressed upon reading it after it came out in 1944 that
he hired Brackett to help write the screenplay of THE BIG
SLEEP. When we get to the 40's on our monthly trips through
the decades I'd definitely like to see other members thoughts
on Brackett's work, both in the movies on the pulps. Steven
