I want to write and I love Mr Chandler. That whole LA vibe, Hollywood, sex, drugs mob, bent cops, Panthers, cia psyops. So much to inspire. I wish I was 20 in 50s.
I totally agree about him but I am pretty sure none of his books were about the cia? Certainly none about the panthers as they didn't exist at the time?
How not to love the name "The Rev. Violet Greener," a "psychic" (at 5:03)? The name also evokes Faye Greener, one of the characters in Nathaniel West's "The Day of the Locust," an LA novel (1939).
8:32 oh really? lots of statements in this documentary but anyone can say anything. Does this make the statements true? 114 people like this with no one giving it a negative rating. that's interesting. Chandler like I said is one of America's greatest writers. If you have never read him you are missing out
One of America's greatest writers
Thank you for this documentary on LA. I grew up there in the 1960s. And I love hearing about its history.

I like how he reads it, Hard Boiled Style.

What? You don't believe there were whorehouses in LA then? Seems a bit naive. I am sure there are now.
Sounds like Richard Widmark?
@J W Yes indeed. Widmark, it is.
Nice to know 👍🏼
