Are there any known copies of it, even? Legit is probably way
too much to ask, but I'd settle for a bootleg. That would be
really interesting to see, since I've always felt Powell was
the best Marlowe (and Mitchum the best
might-have-been).
And since I missed a slew of digests during the Great
Freezeout of
'04, did anyone ever announce where the Rara-Avians are
meeting in Toronto?
Schooley owes me a beer.
And yes, Marianne, I know I owe you one.
