Cornell Woolrich from Pulp Noir to Film Noir (Paperback)
Expected to ship within 12 - 17 working days
|
Extremely popular and prolific in the 1930s and 1940s, Cornell
Woolrich still has diehard fans who thrive on his densely packed
descriptions and his spellbinding premises. A contemporary of
Hammett and Chandler, he competed with them for notoriety in the
pulps and became the single most adapted writer for films of the
noir period. Perhaps the most famous film adaptation of a Woolrich
story is Alfred Hitchcock's ""Rear Window"" (1954). Even today, his
work is still onscreen; Michael Cristofer's ""Original Sin"" (2001)
is based on one of his tales. This book offers a detailed analysis
of many of Woolrich's novels and short stories; examines films
adapted from these works; and shows how Woolrich's techniques and
themes influenced the noir genre. Twenty-two stories and 29 films
compose the bulk of the study, though other films noirs are also
considered because of their relevance to Woolrich's plots, themes,
and characters. The introduction includes a biographical sketch of
Woolrich and his relationship to the noir era, and the book is
illustrated with stills from Woolrich's noir classics.
