I knew I was in for something shifty and it got me all the same.<br /><br />James, did you ever see the movie adaptation of Hammett? It was pretty disparaged for a while, but I enjoyed the hell out of it <br />Plus, it has a deliciously atmospheric score….<br /><br />https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=boJEem_42gI&t=134s<br /><br />John Hocking<br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7527967.post-51473444065791351612021-09-17T11:19:30.475-05:002021-09-17T11:19:30.475-05:00I'm shocked that in the more than 45 years thi...I'm shocked that in the more than 45 years this book has been out, I've never run across any spoilers for it.
