The link to Husband, Wife, & Friend just goes to something about Barack Obama.
What? That’s bizarre, especially as I don’t remember even seeing that, much less copying and pasting the link.
Corrected.
It works now.
It seems strange that a screwball comedy would be based on a James Cain story. Either the studio made a loose adaption or Cain wrote more types of stories than I know of. The later is possible, Poe wrote a lot of humorous pieces that are mostly forgotten for his macabre works. (That was mostly because he was better at writing macabre stories than humorous ones.) You get a copy of the complete works of Edgar Allan Poe you’d see a ton of stories that aren’t immediately recognizable.
