The movie is very good indeed. It’s so long since I read the book that I can’t recall it in any detail at all. My overall feeling about Hammett’s books versus those of Raymond Chandler is that I thought Chandler was better, back when I was reading them. No doubt we shall be discussing style as well as content in due course.

I must confess that I’m glad this book won as it’s a short one and I have a lot on my plate in coming weeks.
