RARA-AVIS: Murder Ink - A hardboiled feast 

         Fans of what's hard boiled, both in books and movies should 
         check out Murder Ink at London's National Film Theatre.
         
         Murder Ink 
         April-May-June 1997
         NFT, London, England
         
         A season of films, personal appearances and events on hard 
         boiled crime fiction. A sampling of the complex, creative and 
         sometimes destructive relationship between great writers of 
         hardboiled crime fiction and the movies, from the 1930s 
         onwards. Many of the novelists featured, unlike their more 
         traditional predecessors, actually worked in the movies and 
         were directly involved in some great productions of their own 
         work as well as those of others.
         
         Murder Ink includes appearances by Walter Mosley (on Sat 12 
         April) and Elmore Leonard (Sat 19 April). Film adaptations of 
         Graham Greene, Eric Ambler, Georges Simenon, Patricia 
         Highsmith, James M Cain and David Goodis all feature in 
         April, and coming up in May there's Raymond Chandler and Jim 
         Thompson. Films showing in April inlcude Psycho, This Gun For 
         Hire, Diva, In A Lonely Place, The Spiral Staircase, Devil in 
         a Blue Dress, Vertigo and many more.
