Five films from the 1940s that have inspired me - Part 3

In this series of blogs I reveal five films that have influenced me and
my style of writing.  There are so many great films to choose from that I
have selected five from the 1940s.  My first was The Big Sleep, the novel written
by Raymond Chandler, with the film starring the wonderful Humphrey
Bogart and lovely Lauren Bacall.  The second was another
classic Raymond Chandler crime novel, Farewell my Lovely (Murder My Sweet in the USA) and this time the film featuring a
different Marlowe but an equally great actor who gives a perfect
performance,  Dick Powell.



Here is my third film with yes, you've guessed it another private eye but this time not based on a Chandler novel.
