1947 -- Dark Passage (Delmer Daves, dir), from The
Unfaithfull,
co-screenplay
1956 -- Section des Disparus (Pierre Chenal), from Missing
Persons
Nightfall (Jacque Tourneur)
1957 -- The Burglar (Paul Wendkos), screenplay
1960 -- Tirez sur le Pianiste, AKA Shoot the Piano Player
(Truffaut),
from Down There
1971 -- Le Casse (Henri Verneuil), from Burglar
1972 -- La Course du Lievre a Travers les Champs, AKA And
Hope to Die
(Rene Clement), from Black Friday and The Raving
Beauty/Somebody's Done
For
1983 -- La Lune Dans Le Canivaux, AKA Moon in the Gutter
(Jean-Jacques
Beineix)
Of these, I've seen only Dark Passage, which is worth it for
Bogart and
Bacall, no matter how ludicrous the plot, and Shoot the Piano
Player
which is great. I've also seen the later Street of No Return
(1989) by
Samuel Fuller and it is awful.
