I understand your objections, but, on blaance, I don't think
I agree. Despite the physical description given of the Op,
he, like most of Hammett's protagonists, always struck me as
a self-portrait. Given that, casting an actor for his
resemblance to Hammett, and giveng him a name, "Hamilton
Nash," that deliberately evokes Hammett's seems quite
appropriate.
