=====
According to at least one source, Behn was born in
1925.
Two others list "1980" as the novel's date.
I always thought of Behm's visibility as beginning with his
co-writing credits on the movies "Charade' (1963) and "Help!"
(1965). What would that be, one generation after Woolrich?
Three?
Alas, I haven't seen the 1983, Claude Miller-directed French
adaptation entitled "Mortelle radonnee." I do, however, have
a fondness for the much-maligned later version, the one
directed by Stephan ("Priscilla, Queen of the Desert")
Elliott and starring Ashley Judd. A bit scatty around the
edges, perhaps, but definitely fearless. Also contains lovely
performances by Judd and the ever-trustable Genvieve
Bujold.
