I have that title around here, Bill. This might be a good time to read it, too. I can't recall if CW uses much humor in his noirs. His protagonist made a wisecrack in MAN ON A LEASH about rock-and-roll and Ricky Nelson I remember smiling at when I read it. Did Charles Williams' use humor in his movie scripts? Maybe in the French noirs he was involved in writing (I think he did the dialogue)?
