I'll skip the very long string of messages and recommend,
from fond memory:
*The Night of the Hunter - Laughton based on Davis
Grubb
*Rear Window - Hitchcock based on Cornell Woolrich
*Shoot the Pianist - Truffaut based on David Goodis
*The Gambler - Reisz based on Dostoyevski (via Toback)
*The Third Man - Reed based on Graham Greene
*Strangers on a Train - Hitchcock based on Patricia
Highsmith
*Blow-Up - Antonioni based on Julio Cortạr
*The Servant - Losey based on Robin Maugham (via
Pinter)
*The Killing - Kubrick based on Lionel White
*The Asphalt Jungle - Huston based on W.R. Burnett
*Double Indemnity - Wilder based on James Cain
OK, enough of this.
Best,
MrT
