  • Lady in the Lake Free
    FREE LADY IN THE LAKE PDF Raymond Chandler | 266 pages | 01 Nov 2005 | Random House USA Inc | 9780394758251 | English | New York, United States "Murder, She Wrote" A Lady in the Lake (TV Episode ) - IMDb It's rare for a murder victim to get the first or last word on their story, but Eunetta "Cleo" Sherwood, the titular waterlogged woman, gets just that in Laura Lippman's new crime novel, Lady in the Lake. She's the kind of dead Lady in the Lake least likely to attract notice in mid-Sixties Baltimore — a young, Black, unwed mother of two who worked at a nightclub and dated around, whose body was submerged so long that it's not even a sure thing she was murdered — but Lippman gives her a crystal-clear voice and the ability to directly address the one aspiring reporter fixated on the mystery of Cleo's end: a mystery Cleo herself would prefer be left unsolved. The hopeful writer in question is Madeline "Maddie" Schwartz, a Jewish former housewife in her late 30s, fresh off an abrupt end to her marriage sparked by a hunger to achieve something. The something she's striving for turns out to be a byline at The Stara goal she starts inching toward by discovering the body of a very different murder victim: an year-old white girl named Tessie Fine. Neither Tessie nor Cleo are whole-cloth inventions on Lippman's part; their stories are inspired by the killing Lady in the Lake Esther Lebowitz and the unsolved death of Shirley Parker, respectively.

  • Selection of Greatest Film Noir Films
    http://www.filmsite.org Film noir (literally 'black film,' from French critics who noticed how dark and black the looks and themes were of these films) is a style of American films which evolved in the 1940s. Classic film noir developed during and after World War II, taking advantage of the post-war ambience of anxiety and suspicion. Film noir is a distinct branch of the crime/gangster sagas from the 1930s, but different in tone and characterization. The crime element in film noir is a metaphoric symptom of society's evils, with a strong undercurrent of moral conflict. Strictly speaking however, film noir is not a genre. The primary moods of classic film noir are melancholy, alienation, bleakness, disillusionment, disenchantment, pessimism, ambiguity, moral corruption, evil, guilt and paranoia. Heroes (or anti-heroes), corrupt characters and villains include down-and-out, hard-boiled detectives or private eyes, gangsters, crooks, petty criminals, murderers, and femme fatales - duplicitous, double-crossing, predatory, tough-sweet, and desperate women. These protagonists are often from the dark and gloomy underworld of violent crime and corruption. Distinctively, they are cynical, tarnished, obsessive (sexual or otherwise), brooding, menacing, sinister, sardonic, disillusioned, frightened and insecure loners, struggling to survive. Film noir films (often in black and white) show the dark and inhumane side of human nature with cynicism, and they emphasize the brutal, unhealthy, seemy, shadowy, dark and sadistic sides of the human experience. Film noir is marked by expressionistic lighting (reminiscent of German Expressionism), disorienting visual schemes, circling cigarette smoke, existential sensibilities, and unbalanced compositions. Settings are often interiors with low-key lighting, venetian-blinded windows, and dark and gloomy appearances.

  • The Lady in the Lake
    The Lady in the Lake Philip Marlowe by Raymond Chandler, 1888-1959 Published: 1943 Alfred A. Knopf, New York J J J J J I I I I I Table of Contents Chapter 1 … thru … Chapter 41 J J J J J I I I I I Chapter 1 The Treloar Building was, and is, on Olive Street, near Sixth, on the west side. The sidewalk in front of it had been built of black and white rubber blocks. They were taking them up now to give to the government, and a hatless pale man with a face like a building superintendent was watching the work and looking as if it was breaking his heart. I went past him through an arcade of specialty shops into a vast black and gold lobby. The Gillerlain Company was on the seventh floor, in front, behind swinging double plate glass doors bound in platinum. Their reception room had Chinese rugs, dull silver walls, angular but elaborate furniture, sharp shiny bits of abstract sculpture on pedestals and a tall display in a triangular showcase in the corner. On tiers and steps and islands and promontories of shining mirror-glass it seemed to contain every fancy bottle and box that had ever been designed. There were creams and powders and soaps and toilet waters for every season and every occasion. There were perfumes in tall thin bottles that looked as if a breath would blow them over and perfumes in little pastel phials tied with ducky satin bows, like the little girls at a dancing class.
