Unable to write for 30 years would have been excruciating

Great to have so many people who knew Hammett personally speaking in the documentary. Another ten years and it would probably have been too late for many of them

I bet the San Francisco of Dashiell Hammett was wonderous.

San Francisco changed a lot.. the biggest understatement of all time.

In 1992 I climbed out the window of my downtown Phoenix apartment and left behind a career, an apartment and a lifetime of connections to live in the Jemez mountains of New Mexico as an artist. I had never read about Flitcraft or what he did by way of Hammett's parable, but it now seems to apply rather sharply. <br> I recommend anyone to do the same: climb out the window of your life, and start again. The ''second act'' of your play can have as little or as much to do with the first as YOU DECIDE.

I'm lucky to have a single volume collection of all 5 of Hammett's novels. I bought it in '93 at B&N's discount section for $7.99.

I respect Hammett for his writing and for knowing when to stop writing. Too many authors continue without the same level of story ideas.

A superb and enthralling study of the man, his life, work and demons, put forth via excellent narration.

Your narrators make this a joy! Humans and ones I recognize.

Kathleen Turner could read a phone book and I would listen. <br>Hammett and I have a few things in common; both veterans, lived in San Francisco, were investigators, and writers. He was far more successful in the writing department, but that is obvious.<br>Nick and Nora Charles, as played by William Powell and Myrna Loy, are the characters who entertain me the most.
