More copies of this ISBN:Raymond Chandler in Hollywoodby Al Clark
Synopses & ReviewsPublisher Comments:Four years after writing his first novel, The Big Sleep, Raymond Chandler found himself sitting in an office at Paramount Studios earning a weekly salary that amounted to almost half of what he had received film rights to his second novel, Farewell My Lovely. Despite the considerable rewards, he was always uncertain, often disgruntled, never at ease. Raymond Chandler in Hollywood is an entertaining and comprehensive assessment of Chandler's turbulent association with Hollywood, both as a screenwriter whose credits included Double Indemnity, The Blue Dahlia and Strangers on a Train and as the provider of source material — his six filmed novels have so far yielded ten movies. Illustrated with over 100 rare stills, this book provides a special insight into the work of the world's most acclaimed writer of detective fiction. Book News Annotation:A user-friendly text aimed toward students as well as the faculty who
guides them through this process. Subjects include definitions and
roles in research, the scientific method, attitudes for success,
topic selection and idea development, conducting a literature search,
total quality management, interpersonal relationships, time
management, ethical dilemmas and responsibilities, analyzing research
data, written and oral communication, and publishing in professional
journals.
