It's a shame that nobody has adapted this great hardboiled
novel for the screen. I hereby propose, as a first-ditch
effort, Donald Westlake as scriptwriter and Roman Polanski as
director. Not that the prodigious Westlake needs any work,
but he is the man for the job. He may even be classy and
sassy enough to get along with Polanski. The actors? Harry
Dean Stanton should be in it; all current "hot" Hollywood
stars are to be avoided since they can only play themselves
(that is, they can't act and calling them actors is a
euphemism of the worst sort).
