: Which is generally regarded as 'the best':
: _The Bride Wore Black_?
: 'Rear Window'?
: _Phantom Lady_?
_The Bride Wore Black_ is good, but I'd probably say let's go
for
_Phantom Lady_. I've read it twice and seen the movie twice
(BTW, it
features Elisha Cook, Jr., as a hophead drummer) and if
anyone doesn't
want to read it they can watch the movie and fake it. I've
always
loved the title of the first chapter: "The Hundred and
Fiftieth Day
Before the Execution." Welcome to the world of Cornell
Woolrich.
I don't know of any available on-line bibliographies, but if
there
isn't one I'll try to get one up. Listing his books and
stories
shouldn't be too hard, but following all the adaptations of
his work
could be too much of a job. The old radio show "Suspense"
used a lot
of his stories (I have some - they're good).
