different in British versions/translations. Highsmith isn't
traditionally hard-boiled (which works by me), but I'd say
she's definitely worth reading beyond Ripley and "Strangers
on a Train."
***************** I recently rented a DVD of Strangers on a
Train and there was an American version of the movie on one
side and a British version on the other. Great movie. I only
watched one version. Smiled when I saw Hitchcock himself
getting on the train. Although Highsmith might not be
hardboiled, I think she is definitely noir. That's actually
an assumption on my part. I have yet to read anything by
Highsmith. Need to fix that one of these days.
