Product Description
Behind some of the silver screen's greatest films - from classics such as "Double Indemnity", "The Big Sleep", "The Maltese Falcon", and "The Postman Always Rings Twice" to contemporary films such as "L.A. Confidential" and "Jackie Brown" - are great writers and crime novelists. How did these writers come to write for the Hollywood dream machine? What effect did this have on their work? were they happy with the results? These are just some of the questions which the author addresses. This text looks at the fate of crime writers in the Hollywood dream machine. It includes interviews with James Ellroy, Elmore Leonard and Edward Bunker, amongst others, and uncovers the increasing influence that film is having on writers and writing and blends anecdote, analysis along and original interviews.
