Will keep an eye out for that one. Manhattan Love Song is
another priceless Woolrich as is Waltz Into Darkness. It's a
noir epic and although it's been filmed twice, neither movie
gets anywhere near the book. As for his style and his
reliance on coincidence and impersonations and other tricks
of the time, I agree with you but when I read him I just put
my reservations aside and have fun with what he's doing.
After reading overwrought "serious" writers, he's a great
break. I love the guy's stuff even when it makes me groan . .
