Good conversation about a great movie. Give a listen if you’re into noir, John Garfield, or Ernest Hemingway. And especially if you don’t know much about any of them!

But what would the movie be?

Michael S. Wall @mikeswcoast2004.bsky.social · Sep 16

@noirfoundation.bsky.social If I could cast two people for lead roles in a movie, @eddiemuller.bsky.social and Alicia Malone would be my picks. (Let Alicia know about this note.)

To clarify: when I said it “could never be made into a movie,” what I meant is that a movie version would never be as sneakily subversive as the book, where you don’t realize at the start something crucially important about the protagonist, who is telling the story in the first-person. Unique.

Chris Andrews @czandrews.bsky.social · Jun 27

@eddiemuller.bsky.social - I finished The Expendable Man moments ago. I read it on your recommendation. I was intrigued by you comment that it could never be made into a movie. Eddie, I love your insights, but I can’t agree with you on this. I think it would make a fantastic movie.

That was critics at the time being lazy. Any movie in which a cuckolded husband’s death was plotted was immediately called a knockoff of DOUBLE INDEMNITY.
