Trouble Was His Business — Raymond Chandler




1943_0912_chandler

Sept. 12, 1943, a feature on the upcoming film "Double Indemnity."

Here’s an undiscovered treasure: The Times’ Philip K. Scheuer interviews James M. Cain AND Raymond Chandler on the upcoming production of "Double Indemnity." Chandler tells Scheuer that his next novel, "The Lady in the Lake," may be his last. "There’s no money in them," he says. "Not when 10,000 is considered a good sale!"

Scheuer also says Chandler doesn’t drink. Hm.

Note: To mark the 50th anniversary of Raymond Chandler’s death, the
Daily Mirror is revisiting some of The Times’ stories about his life and
influence. We invite the Daily Mirror’s readers to share their thoughts.
