Several of you have praised the film adaptation of The
Phantom Lady. May I ask (enviously) where people are viewing
this film? Archival theaters? Noir film festivals? As far as
I can tell, the film was never released in VHS or DVD
format.
I finally did get my hands on a (VHS) copy of
Truffaut's The Bride Wore Black. Generally I find myself
frustrated with film adaptations of novels (characters, for
example, often seem to lose their layers and become less
interesting), but I loved Truffaut's ending.

The Bride Wore Black is the only one of his novels I've read.
And Ienjoyed it quite a bit. Haven't read The Phantom Lady,
but enjoyed themovie very much, especially Elisha Cook Jr's
deranged drum solo.Mark
