    Oh man, I love this topic. Hammet is excellent. Last December and January I read Glass Key, Thin Man, and Maltese Falcon. I also read the entire Chandler catalog, which I love even more.

    Impossible to measure how both of those authors redefined the hard boiled genre, but also all of film history from 1941 onward. There is hardly a more fascinating document of post-war America than the full noir cycle (ending in roughly 1958).

    Somebody better stop me. This could go on for awhile. :mail:
