That's the story I've read as well. It is one of the most
unusual Goodis books that I've read as it's so concerned with
the police character and not the criminal element. OF MISSING
PERSONS was made into a film by Pierre Chenal but Goodis
isn't given a writing credit. The majority of the movie
concerns itself with the case that the police character is
tacitly investigating. This same story would be told on an
episode of "Bourbon Street Beat" credited to a Goodis story.
The episode is called "False Identity" and even uses
character names from OF MISSING PERSONS, specifically the
missing man, John Nichols.
I just wrote to Adrian Wooten about this last week and he
says that the Goodis screenplay (as well as almost all of his
unproduced scripts) are no where to be found.
