Waltz Into Darkness has been made into film at least twice.
Once by Truffaut -- with Belmondo and Deneuve, no less -- as
Mississippi Mermaid and Angelina Jolie and Antonio Banderas
had a go in Original Sin. Since Waltz Into Darkness is my
favorite Woolrich and may be my favorite all-time noir novel,
I was disappointed by both films. At least Truffaut didn't
turn it into a comedy as he did with Down There.
