I love the parker books and movies based on them (well some of them) as for not quite parker films I’m surprised that The Getaway with Steve McQueen hasn’t made the list. His Doc McCoy character is pretty close to parker.
That’s a section I’d like to put a lot more time into someday–it’s really underdeveloped at the moment.
I’ll add that to my long list of flicks to check out. Thanks!
Blame it on Westlake; he raved about The Thin Man. But I have made amends by rereading The Maltese Falcon since and by putting up a post about it. My Hammett jones rolls on.
