Whatever you do, don't watch the movie adaptation. It's the
worst Chandler adaptation ever, and it's shot entirely in the
first person-the only time you see the detective is when he
looks in the mirror, and he's not a detective he's a writer
and there's a love story, and it's set at Christmas. In
short, Hollywood did everything possible to ruin one of
Chandler's best works.
