Haven't read any Dratler books, but IMPACT was another Noir
based on a JD story, and he contributed to the script for
CALL NORTHSIDE 777.
Best an' all,

i saw it quite a few years ago & can remember
thinking
it was a pretty competent film but not nearly as
good
as Kiss Of Death, which Hathaway made the
following
year. Jay Dratler, who wrote the screenplay for
The
Dark Corner, wrote the novel Pitfall, which was
made
into a good little B noir picture directed by Andre
De
Toth. I have the novel Pitfall on the shelf but
I've
yet to read it. Anyone read this or anything by
Dratler worth reading?
Speaking of noir films, I saw some cool rarities
at
the Palm Springs noir fest this past weekend,
most
prominently Fritz Lang's While The City Sleeps,
and
the very rare Port of Forty Thieves and The Price
of
Fear.
It's nice to see these old films on a big screen in
a
big room with a curtain that opens and closes and
a
bar that serves you drinks you can bring into the
theater.
