Okay, this week is just the fuzzy end of the lollipop all round and I do not approve of it, but I just got back from picking up the recent reprint of Marty Holland's Fallen Angel (1945), the source novel for the 1945 film, and I am going to sit on the couch and see if I can't attract a cat by attempting to read it undisturbed. It looks terrific and, according to the introduction, rather like the fix-it version of the film I had wanted at the time. It appears to be part of a series of source novels for noir films. Based on their lineup so far, I can with horrifying ease see myself collecting them all.
