recommended for: Raymond Chandler fans or people interested in LA's history
I'm a big Raymond Chandler geek and really enjoyed learning more about him...even though a lot of what I learned was somewhat morose and depressing. I really enjoyed the subtle intertwining of fact (Chandler's life) and fiction (his stories, novels, and screenplays). Strange that he and his wife--who was 18 years older--lived in dozens of apartments and homes in and around LA. Could definitely see this being turned into a really entertaining movie. Entertaining for big Raymond Chandler geeks, at least.
