Los Angeles “In 1932, with population surpassing one million, the city hosted the Summer Olympics.” (Wikipedia) “Los Angeles's literary side includes Raymond Chandler, whose hard-boiled detective stories were set in pre-war and immediate post-war L.A.” (Wikipedia)

Raymond Chandler’s Influences “Chandler’s short stories and novels are evocatively written, conveying the time, place, and ambience of Los Angeles in the 1930s and 1940s. The places are real such as Bay City which is Santa Monica, Gray Lake which is Silver Lake, and Idle Valley a synthesis of rich San Fernando Valley communities.” (Wikipedia) jpg

Film Noir Defines a “style” or “genre” of cinematography and story-telling from the early 1920s through the 1950s. Some analysts theorize that “Film Noir” never disappeared, only changed with technology and trends. Characterized by intense shadows (often from surrounding architecture,) mystery, and “realism”

The Big Sleep Philip Marlowe untangles the web of deceit laid by Vivian Sternwood Rutledge and casino-owner Eddie Mars while scouring the maze of underworld L.A. for a missing bootlegger and Vivian’s wild and unpredictable younger sister, Carmen.

The Big Sleep Co-written by William Faulkner The second film starring Humphrey Bogart and Lauren Bacall, who had married in 1945 Based of Raymond Chandler’s novel, but adapted for screen, including additional scenes not present in the original text. Provides a full glimpse into the slurry of questionable individuals within criminal underworld, including blackmailers, bootleggers, hitmen, pornographers and drug dealers.

Double Indemnity The tragic tale of an insurance salesman and corrupt wife of an unappreciative middle-age man, marked for murder “William Neff” and “Phyllis Dietrichson” carry on an affair, killing her husband and framing the death as an accidental fall from a train, resulting in “double indemnity” compensation from the company Neff represents; however, insurance fraud investigator “Keyes” remains suspicious…

Double Indemnity (1947) Co-written by Raymond Chandler and Billy Wilder The twisting plot largely concerns the internally “noir” struggle of William Neff, a man fallen in love with a married woman and the desires they hold for a new start.

Killer’s Kiss “Davey Gordon,” a washed-up boxer meets “Gloria Price,” a dancer controlled by the heavy hand of her lover Vincent Raphello Climaxes in the most famous scene, an axe/spear fight in a dark mannequin warehouse kiss.jpg

Killer’s Kiss (1955) Co-written and directed by Stanley Kubrick This being Kubrick’s second film, and first sold for world-wide distribution, it is the beginning of his legacy, although he later regarded the film as amateurish and cliché. Kubrick later went on to participate and direct such classics as: “A Clockwork Orange” “The Shining,” “Full Metal Jacket” “2001: A Space Odyssey” “Eyes Wide Shut” “Lolita” “Spartacus” “Dr. Strangelove”
