| Judith Freeman, author of "The Long Embrace," is giving a four-part continuing education course on Raymond Chandler. The sessions will be held on Tuesday nights, March 31, April 7, April 14 and April 21, at USC University Park Campus.
Part 1 will examine Chandler’s life; his first novel, "The Big Sleep" and the subsequent film starring Humphrey Bogart and Lauren Bacall. Part 2 will look at "Farewell, My Lovely" and the film version, "Murder, My Sweet" with Dick Powell. (I happen to prefer the Robert Mitchum version, but that’s just me. Among other things, it has a terrific score by David Shire). Part 3 will focus on "The Little Sister" and the script for "Double Indemnity," heavily revised from the James M. Cain novel. The final part is an evening field trip to Chandler’s haunts and places featured in his novels. The course is $250. Online registration is here. |
