Thank you Brad Rosenstein for a dramatic and often poignant documentary. Your presentation and knowledge is truly reflective of the man's incredible talent.
Д. Хэммет начал широко издаваться в СССР с 1987-1988 годов, когда вышли большими тиражами его "Мальтийский сокол" и "Стекляныйключ". В 1988 году на экраны СССР вышло сверхпопулярное "Собачье сердце" М.А.Булгакова. Роман "Шпион, который вернулся с холода" Д.Ле Карре в СССР был издан в 1990 году в журнале "Огонёк."
What about him? A similarly flawed human being, a better writer, but DH WAS there in the business before Chandler. Those two ARE the best, and it's funny that their most famous works are set in California. Neither were born in the golden state, of course. I think I've read everything available written by either. I don't think either were especially nice people.
@@kevinrussell1144writers have a tendency to be serious people (playwrights fiction writers) not necessarily not nice I put Ellroy at his best in their league!!!
Honestly, I am quite puzzled by the fact that this man obviously felt the need of embroidering his life to a rather large extent.. must have had a difficult relationship with truth or reality. Was it self deception or the need to decieve other persons or both? And to be drawn to marxism (or communism) which claims to hold the truth about humans and human history as a whole is even more puzzling. But after all humans are very strange or paradoxical beings.
@@keithstump1712At 10:13 the presenter explains in detail how Hammett himself pronounced his middle name and then how the wider American public Americanized this pronunciation and how that latter version became the standard.
I was a Boston Pinkerton dick who smoked Turkish cigarettes. Read Hammet whilst on a second Pinkerton job in New Mexico. Amazing coincidences. Am a writer now but on a totally different subject. Learned to dislike the genre...
youre a writer but you LEARNED to dislike the genre and posting this on this video, what an amazing coincidence ideed, in other words, why u comment this here?, you got attention tho, at least from me. thats what you needed, some attention from anybody, congrats

Don't understand how Dashielle Hammet had monetary problems later in life when so much of his work made it to movies television or radio??!!!
terrific - thanks
A "Tony location" ?? What does this mean, please?
"Tony" is an old-fashioned term for "fancy," or "swanky."
@@Obladgolated Thanks for that.
Thank you...
Pinkertons 'settled' strikes by killing workers
That's why the agency was created. To infiltrate and destroy any attempts at unionization. They used every dirty trick.
And they are the good guys Sam Spade having "relations" with his partners wife and his secretary ha,ha, nice guys??!!!!
Raymond Chandler???

How can you mispronounce the name of your subject?? It's Da-SHEEL! Alleged fans should know better!
How can you miss he explains that at the very start? Alleged fans would have listening comprehension skills.
@@francisburns281It is consistently mispronounced throughout.

Why take it upon yourself to "Americanize" his name? Why not pronounce it properly? As you explained, he himself pronounced it "DaSHEEL".
Terrible
