I watched Mitchum's 1975 version of Raymond Chandler's Farewell My Lovely. That was very good. I also watched Mitchum's 1978 version of Chandler's The Big Sleep. Despite an amazing cast--Mitchum, Jimmy Stewart, Oliver Reed, Sarah Miles, Candy Clark, Joan Collins, Richard Boone--that was pretty bad. The butler was good.

Ray Chandler - just read the books!
Some mention of Ray Chandler movies. If you haven't read the books, skip the movies and read em. So good.

I like Chandler, i like Hammett better. Also there is Jonathan Latimer who is an unsung hero of the hardboiled trade and irresistibly funny. Also, there is Ross Macdonald, a bit deeper, more skilled as a writer with a hint of psychology. On another page, Eric Ambler (Topkapi), who isn't hardboiled, but every one of his earlier books reads like a script proposal for a Hitchcock movie.

Another WW 2 film I have never heard of but was quite good: Ice Cold in Alex. A 1958 British Northern Africa film starring Anthony Quayle and John Mills who both give really solid performances. Supposedly based on a true story. The story of 4 people overcoming great odds to out run the Germans to safety. Directed by J. Lee Thompson who directed Guns of Navarone 3 years later.
Have to get it on Amazon. |
