I'm pretty sure her article was reprinted in Lee Server's Big
Book of Noir (pretty sure that's where I read it). And if you
look it up in the archives, last time this argument rolled
around, I posted some direct quotes of Altman's on his
interests and conception of the movie, how it was inspired by
Raymond Chandler Speaking and how he split Chandler between
the Marlowe and Roger Wade (a name which some screenwriter
has used as a pseudonym) characters.
