Coming soon from my book:

In 2022 I reacquired the rights to my book, and I’m posting the chapters here as I revise each one. The following 6 chapters (out of 100) still need work before I put them online. Estimated completion in mid-2024.

  1. I Wake Up Screaming (1941, H. Bruce Humberstone)
  2. Phone Call from a Stranger (1952, Jean Negulesco)
  3. Chase a Crooked Shadow (1958, Michael Anderson)
  4. Nathalie Granger (1972, Marguerite Duras)
  5. Diva (1981, Jean-Jacques Beineix)
  6. Pan’s Labyrinth (2006, Guillermo del Toro)
