Apparently the novel came before the play, but the litigation
didn't start
until the play was profiled in Life--which suggests to me
that the play may
have been more successful financially than the novel
was.
(And, okay, I can understand the Nixon/Ellroy/hardboiled
connection--but
don't I get brownie points for mentioning a Bogart film
originally? :) )
