Which is a bit surprising considering that they were paired in SEVEN films. I just bought the blu-rays for #ThisGunForHire and #TheBlueDahlia so I'm just learning about them.

Raymond Chandler almost walked off the film when George Marshall improvised dialogue. "... it is ludicrous to suggest that any writer in Hollywood, however obstreperous, has a free hand with a script;" said Chandler.

Because of legal complications, it was not cleared for telecast in the USA until 1962. It was released on DVD in 2013 by TCM as part of the Universal Collection, and again in 2014 as part of Universal's Film Noir Movie Spotlight Collection. #TheBlueDahlia #FilmNoirClub #ValentineNoir
Chandler got two chauffeured cars, one to convey the completed pages to the studio and the other for his wife. He turned the script in on time. Many believe the drunkenness was simply a ruse to wrangle extraordinary privileges from the desperate studio. #TheBlueDahlia #FilmNoirClub #ValentineNoir
According to a near-legendary story, Chandler offered to finish the screenplay by working drunk; in exchange for sacrificing his health to produce the pages on time, Chandler was permitted to work at home, a privilege rarely granted to screenwriters. #TheBlueDahlia #FilmNoirClub #ValentineNoir
The pressure of having to finish the screenplay combined with the curveball of having to write an entirely new ending was too much for Raymond Chandler. He quickly came down with a severe case of writer's block. #TheBlueDahlia #FilmNoirClub #ValentineNoir

After the fight, one of the thugs is soaking his broken foot. That wasn't in the original script; the actor had broken his foot filming the fight and, without consulting Chandler, the director rewrote the script to also have the character break his foot. #TheBlueDahlia #FilmNoirClub #ValentineNoir
Noir Hugh Beaumont is my favorite Hugh Beaumont.
That is all.
