Salon features an article by Allan Barra on Hammett's RED
HARVEST, which is called "one of the most influential
American novels of the 20th century." Barra focuses on the
many aborted attempts to bring the novel to the screen and
the surprising number of unofficial adaptations, the most
recent being HBO's DEADWOOD.
Much of the article's content will be familiar to Rara
Avians, but it's still an interesting read. I wouldn't have
minded a mention of Seijun Suzuki's YOUTH OF THE BEAST, just
out on DVD and which borrows liberally from Hammett.
You can find the article here, but as always with Salon
you'll have to sit through an ad first:
