Raymond Chandler in Hollywood

Forty years after his first novel earned him money, Raymond Chandler was working for Paramount on a huge salary. This look back at his career is an entertaining assessment of his connection to the movie industry in Hollywood.
This book offers an entertaining and comprehensive assessment of Chandler's turbulent association with Hollywood, both as a screenwriter whose credits included Double Indemnity, The Blue Dahlia, and Strangers On A Train and as the provider of source material -- his six filmed novels have so far yielded ten films. The author's extensive research included interviewing many of the Hollywood figures who were associated with Chandler and his films, including Lauren Bacall, Edward Dmytryk, Alfred Hitchcock, John Houseman, Fred MacMurray, Robert Montgomery and Audrey Trotter. Illustrated with rare stills, posters and location photographs, this book provides a special insight into the work of the world's most acclaimed writer of detective fiction.
