I'm just not into James Cain's stuff. The first work of his I
read one of his short stories in a hard boiled / noir
anthology about a logger who saves a guy's life and then
fights with him over his (the saved guy's) ex-wife. I forced
myself to watch Double Indemnity Last week - I was turned off
the first time I started watching this, a while ago because I
don't like a narrative starting with a confession. I also
read the Postman Always Rings Twice. I just find the instant
deep emotions to be rather hollow. I know there are people
who really do experience this, but it just doesn't ring as
believable to me. If there was more backstory maybe. I don't
plan to read/watch any more Cain, it's not for me.
