Must not have applied to TV. In the days before cable, I saw
it end with a freeze frame of Marlowe pointing his gun at
Lennox, leaving it to the viewer to decide whether he shot
him or brought him in to justice.
'Now, we can all wait and see what Frank Miller does with
Trouble is My Business (which I've seen with a 2009, or even
2010! release date attached to it) - many novels are, I
believe, simply too complex to fit into a feature film, so
perhaps a short story/novella is the ideal form from which to
adapt? - and argue over whether Clive Owen is fit to fill the
shoes that walk down those mean streets."
I'm just hoping it leads to the US DVD release of Owen
playing Brit PI Nick Sharman. Always wanted to see
those.
