Like The Gracie Allen Murder Case before it, Winter was first
written as a screenplay, in this case a vehicle for the figure
skater Sonja Henie. However, while Allen's scatterbrained persona
made a charming foil for Philo's stuffed-shirt pretensions, Ms.
Henie provided no such inspiration. Van Dine did not live long
enough to see her outed as a Nazi supporter, but her ice-princess
act offered less for Philo to play against. It should be noted that
Winter was published posthumously to close out the series, and
though it went to press without Van Dine's usual repeated
revisions, it is true vintage Philo-utterly distinctive in style
and its own very genuine kind of pleasure.
