影なき男 [DVD]
以前に衛星放送で見た時、ニックとノラそしてワンちゃんのとぼけた味の良さに舌を巻きました。全シリーズを総べて見たいです（まだこれ一枚ですよね。もし他にも出ていれば教えて下さい）でも一寸高いですね。出来ればＢＯＸで、１万円位で出して頂ければと思います。新しい作品も良いですが、30年代に既にこんな素晴らしい作品があったことを多くの人に知って頂きたいですね。皆さんも是非見て下さい。
影なき男 (ハヤカワ・ミステリ文庫)
When I see a film based on a novel, I like to read the novel to compare plots and execution. Most of the time the novel or story is fuller than the movie due to the short media time and the target audience. In this case the novel does have a better-developed plot and is more cohesive. The characters are more true to form and there is a real Rosewood/Rosebrien. However the book characters are more sinister and Dorothy is sleazy. I planed to make this the last story I would read by Dashiel Hammett. However others tell me I just picked the wrong one to start with.
The film on the other hand, was modified to give a lighter approach. It is the film that I will think of as the real "Thin Man" and Maureen O'Sullivan as the real Dorothy that was concerned about her father. Speaking about that, what is the Sullivan act?
