Ditto that. The book was great, I thought, and I'm not a huge
Willeford fan, but the movie was magnificent. One of the best
film adaptations of a hardboiled classic I've seen. It's too
bad it didn't get a wider audience. You'd swear it was shot
circa 1961. I understand that in order to get that unique
contrasty look to the film, they shot the whole thing in
color and then digitally converted it to black &
white.
Woman Chaser is easily my favorite Willeford novel. Now that
I'm on a Charles Williams binge I look back on it and realize
that I liked Woman Chaser because it reads like a Williams
novel, with a little bit of Dan Marlowe thrown in.
