"Hamlet" ain't Kyd's "Spanish Tragedy" and "Dreigroschenoper"
ain't Gay's "Beggar's Opera," either. Shouldn't artists be

Sure. As I said, I ended up liking Altman's film once I set
aside my expectations that it be Chandler's Marlowe.
Speaking of Kyd, Thomas in this case, his Goodbye and
Goodnight is another good adaptation of Long Goodbye. The
best, though, is Crumley's Last Good Kiss, which expands upon
Marlowe's search for the author.
