And at the risk of turning this site into Dorothy L, here's
another
shameless plug. Tigger, my site has a list of private eye
films (the URL's
down there somewhere) It's not as complete as IMDB, but it
has a few
different ones. And as anyone on this list will gladly tell
you (myself
included), just because it's a private eye, doesn't mean
it's
hardboiled...but it's another resource for you...
And I've just been informed that a sequel to Alex Abella's
The Killing of
the Saints (1991) has finally shown up. It's called Dead of
Night. Once
again, Cuban-born LA private eye Charlie Morrell gets to
tangle with things
that go bump in the night....I really liked the first book,
and I'm not
usually a big fan of these supernatural/hardboiled hybrids
(although I did
like Falling Angel by William Hjortsberg, and those Cast a
Deadly Spell TV
movies...), but I really liked Killing of the Saints. Anyone
else read it?
And Jim, I'm in awe. I don't know anyone who's ever seen a
copy of The
Hard-Boiled Omnibus, which must be the equivalent of the Dead
Sea Scrolls
for members of this list....(great post, by the way!)
