I'm very eager to see this with my kids, who are both
hardboiled and noir fans and had already gotten word...
And I would like to thank the poster who warned about Don
Siegel's
_The Lineup_ on Turner. I watched that and, before, a minor
but quite interesting 1958 film, _Stakeout on Dope Street_.
Nice introductions by Ellroy. The Lineup is an outstanding
film, classic Siegel, a masterfully cold narration of hot
events. Fantastic. I shudder to think of what Pauline Kael
thought of Siegel!
Best,
