Obsession, suspicion and destructive melancholy in this beautifully bleak Noir on this week's main show as Morgan and Jeannine talk Nicholas Ray's layered adaptation of Dorothy B. Hughes novel, IN A LONELY PLACE (1950) starring a perhaps never better Humphrey Bogart and the always perfect Gloria Grahame in the tale of a downtrodden screenwriter who comes under suspicion for a murder, and his new love who slowly begins to question their relationship and whether he actually did commit the crime!

This week we read the classic noir novel, In a Lonely Place by Dorothy B. Hughes. We love it for subverting typical noir tropes and tackling American machismo at the same time. March's promopt for the 2023 Bookstore Challenge is to read a book by an author with a disability or about disability. Becca's pick, An Unkindness of Ghosts by Rivers Solomon, is up first. And then we will be reading So Lucky by Nicola Griffith. You can find both at your local bookstore or library (at least one of them is available on Hoopla) and read along with us. If you want to read along with The Bookstore Challenge 2023, you can find Instagram graphics for your story or grid in this Google Drive folder. You can also join us on The StoryGraph, The Bookstore Challenge 2023. Website | Patreon

For February's prompt to Read a Western or Pulp Fiction/Noir, Becca's pick is True Grit by Charles Portis. The novel was a bestseller immediately upon publishing in 1968, and has been adapted twice into movies. We loved this entertaining, funny, action-packed story that is essentially just about a girl bent on revenge.  Next time we'll be reading Corinne's pick, a noir/pulp fiction novel titled In a Lonely Place by Dorothy B. Hughes. You can find it at your local library or bookstore and read along with us! If you want to read along with The Bookstore Challenge 2023, you can find Instagram graphics for your story or grid in this Google Drive folder.

Before Humphrey Bogart played tortured writer Dix Steele on the big screen in In a Lonely Place, Robert Montgomery played the man with a deadly secret in an adaptation of the novel on Suspense. The actor and director of Lady in the Lake and Ride the Pink Horse is star, producer, and host of this sixty-minute version of Dorothy B. Hughes' novel (originally aired on CBS on March 6, 1948).

For January's prompt, to read a book published in a year ending in 3, Becca had us read The Charioteer by Mary Renault. It was published in 1953 and known for being one of the first popularly published novels about positive homosexual romance. Despite some language differences between two Americans in 2023 and a British woman in 1953, we really loved this story. For February's prompt of reading a western or pulp novel, we will first be reading True Grit by Charles Portis (western) and then either Odd Girl Out by Ann Bannon (pulp) or In A Lonely Place by Dorothy B. Hughes (noir). The first two are available on Hoopla, but you can find any at your local bookstore or library and read along with us! In this episode we also mentioned: Giovanni's Room by James Baldwin The City and the Pillar by Gore Vidal The Awakening by Kate Chopin

With its high ceilings, exposed brick walls and hardwood floors, Zenith Bookstore is a warm, comfy, and inviting space that has been serving the community of Duluth, Minnesota, for five years. Store manager Sarah Brown walks us through the shop and its history, as well as her own history as a bookseller, and shares some fantastic book recommendations. Books We Talk About: Duluth's Grand Old Architecture 1870-1940 by Tony Dierckins and Maryanne C. Norton, The Natural Way of Things by Charlotte Wood, Golden Spruce by John Vaillant, Nina Simone's Gum by Warren Ellis, and the novels of Dorothy B. Hughes, Peter Rock, and Melanie Finn.

The Great American Novel podcast is an ongoing discussion about the novels we hold up as significant achievements in our American literary culture.  Additionally, we sometimes suggest novels who should break into the sometimes problematical canon and at other times we'll suggest books which can be dropped from such lofty consideration.  Your hosts are Kirk Curnutt and Scott Yarbrough, professors with little time and less sense who nonetheless enjoy a good book banter.  For this 16th episode we went a different route and discuss a smorgasbord of fine American Noir, novels about detectives and criminals and femme fatales and button men, gunsels and grifters, sharps and snakes.  We discuss works by Dashiell Hammett, James M. Cain, Raymond Chandler, Dorothy B. Hughes, Vera Caspary, Patricia Highsmith, Chester Himes, Jim Thompson,  and Horace McCoy.  Film audio clips are from Double Indemnity (Billy Wilder, 1944) and The Big Sleep (Howard Hawkes, 1946).  All show music is by Lobo Loco.  The intro song is “Old Ralley”; the intermission is “The First Moment,” and the outro is “Inspector Invisible.”  For more information visit: https://locolobomusic.com/.We may be contacted at greatamericannovelpodcast (@) gmail.com.  As always, the views of the hosts do not necessarily reflect the views of their home institutions.

It's double trouble as Karl and Søren tackle two film adaptations of books from the boys' mystery cycle: Carl Franklin's 1995 neo-noir version of Devil in a Blue Dress, starring Denzel Washington, Don Cheadle, and Jennifer Beals; and Nicholas Ray's 1950 version of In a Lonely Place, with Humphrey Bogart and Gloria Grahame. After discussing how widely Ray's film departs from Dorothy B. Hughes' novel, they talk about various technical aspects: Franklin's love of tracking shots, Devil's musical juxtaposition, Don Cheadle's charisma, and whether Bogey is a good actor or merely a good movie star (scandal!).

With Friedrich on vacation, Søren and Karl team up to crack the case of Dorothy B. Hughes' classic L.A. noir In a Lonely Place. Will the L.A. Police find out who's been strangling women once a month, like clockwork? Will mystery writer Dix Steele outrun his postwar demons and his own loneliness and find happiness with the alluring Laurel Gray? Who has the more outré name, Dix Steele, or his best friend Brub Nicolai? All this and more on this week's exciting episode.   Theme music: "Shostakovich," by Mucca Pazza

The lads get born when they're kissed by director Nicholas Ray's 1950 masterpiece In a Lonely Place, based on the novel by Dorothy B. Hughes. They died when Humphrey Bogart and Gloria Grahame left the screen. They lived a few weeks to tell you how much they love this film. Come join us in Hollywood for a sure thing!

Book Vs. Movie: In a Lonely Place The 1947 Novel Vs the 1950 Humphrey Bogart The Margos go back to Bogie and film noir with In a Lonely Place which was written by Dorothy B. Hughes in 1947 which tells the story of a homicidal maniac on the loose in post-War II Los Angeles. Dix Steele was an airman who prowls around LA and its environs in search of the perfect woman to strangle to death.  In the novel, the story is told from his point of view and his hatred of women and fear of getting caught by his LA detective pal Brub Nocholi and his suspicious wife Sylvia. The story is scary and gripping but in 1950, the Hays code still had a grip on Hollywood and a screenplay filled with murder would shock its audience too much.  Nicholas Ray directed the 1950 film that stars Humphrey Bogart and Gloria Grahame and over the years has become a film many experts praise for being ahead of its time. Though Bogart is not a killer he has been known to be violent. Dix is a screenwriter and Graham plays Laurel Gray, an actress looking for a good script.  The story is twisty and weird which makes for a unique film experience.  So, between the novel and the movie--which did we prefer?  This episode is sponsored by Kensington's new title Breaking Badger by Shelly Laurenston The New York Times bestselling author has more sexy shape-shifting antics with this snarky and steamy romance novel! In this ep the Margos discuss: The 1947 novel by Dorothy B. Hughes The film noir movies of the time and how Hollywood is presented Biggest differences between book & movie.

In Episode 90, Megan Abbott (author of The Turnout) shares how she chooses the worlds she writes about, the expectations of women in sports, and how she researches the worlds she writes about. This post contains affiliate links, through which I make a small commission when you make a purchase (at no cost to you!). Highlights Where Megan got the inspiration for this story. Whether Megan feels The Turnout is her darkest book yet. How she turns off the “dark” part of her brain outside of writing. Megan's interest in family dynamics and family entanglements. How Megan first started writing about female athletic worlds with a dark side. The pressure on young women to be perfect without seeming to exert any effort (i.e. “effortless perfection”). Whether she'd consider writing a book about figure skating. Sarah starts suggesting different sports Megan should write about next. The two old gymnastics memoirs that were big influences for Megan's writing. Unhealthy parent / child sports relationships. How Megan researches the worlds she writes about. Megan's trajectory towards writing more and more about adults. How Megan feels about writing for TV vs. writing books. We discuss publishers giving away too much in blurbs (especially for thrillers).

The Buzz 1: “Nobody brings the creepy better than women mystery and thriller writers. The literary world has always been a bit of a good ol' boys club, but since Anna Katharine Green, ‘the mother of the detective novel,' published The Leavenworth Case in 1878, right up to the Gone Girl frenzy, women writers have excelled in the genre.” (Erin Enders, www.bustle.com/articles/58552-11-female-mystery-writers-to-start-reading-now-because-these-suspenseful-stories-are-too-good-to) The Buzz 2: “Women's murder tales have always been at least a little more psychologically acute than the guys'. Even in the so-called golden age of detective stories, the 1920s and '30s, when the emphasis was on elaborate puzzles, the motivations of the culprits in Christie and Dorothy L. Sayers were usually more plausible—and nastier—than they were in Carr or Rex Stout or Ellery Queen…Later, while male pulp writers were playing with guns and fighting off those wily femmes fatales, women like Highsmith and Dorothy B. Hughes and Margaret Millar were burrowing into the enigmas of identity and the killing stresses of everyday life.” (Ashley Johnson, shereads.com/best-thrillers-by-women-2019/) We'll ask publisher Eddie Vincent and novelists Leslie Wheeler, BJ Magnani, PhD, MD, and S. Lee Manning for their take on The Future of Women Thriller Novelists: Who Dunnit?

In preparing to watch In a Lonely Place (Ray, 1950) for this episode, I read the source novel by Dorothy B. Hughes, though source is a misnomer as this film adaptation kept only the main characters and modified the plot. The novel is absolutely stellar, and I highly recommend it.… The post Episode 075 – In a Lonely Place appeared first on The Magic Lantern.

Portrayers of Perry in order of goodness (cut out of the podcast - I was accused of being boring): The peerless Raymond Burr Richardo Cortez - this guy is lively but he lacks the gravitas of Burr. Generally, as an actor he has verve without subtlety. He starred in the original 1931 The Maltese Falcon. Fun to watch how it is different from the classic of the same name shot in 1941, starring the best cast ever assembled. Donald Woods - Bland. Warren William - Warren has the most Perry appearances after Burr. His Perry is most un-Perry-like. His Perry is interchangable with his Philo Vance. William has an old-timey, stagey acting style that I don't like. But you may.

Mark and Aaron are joined by Matt Gasteier to explore Nicholas Ray's In a Lonely Place (1950) and evaluate Humphrey Bogart's body of work. We go into how Ray's life informed the cinema, why he wasn't celebrated during his time and subsequently appreciated later. We also go through Bogart's entire career, from getting his lucky break to becoming a superstar. About the film: When a gifted but washed-up screenwriter with a hair-trigger temper—Humphrey Bogart, in a revelatory, vulnerable performance—becomes the prime suspect in a brutal Tinseltown murder, the only person who can supply an alibi for him is a seductive neighbor (Gloria Grahame) with her own troubled past. The emotionally charged In a Lonely Place, freely adapted from a Dorothy B. Hughes thriller, is a brilliant, turbulent mix of suspenseful noir and devastating melodrama, fueled by powerhouse performances. An uncompromising tale of two people desperate to love yet struggling with their demons and each other, this is one of the greatest films of the 1950s, and a benchmark in the career of the classic Hollywood auteur Nicholas Ray.
