I remember catching them at Roseland in NYC, about 1991. My date was younger than me and grinned big, grabbing my hand and dragging me into the pit. It was a fine night! The kind of poetry that captured so much that was cool back in those days.

I heard from Thai friends that Bangkok was the first city referred to as “City of Angels”. True or not, Raymond Chandler’s prose defined the City of Angels wreathed in smog at the foot of the San Gabriel mountains; the city that spooled out in front of me in the early 1970s when my father handed me a stack of Chandler’s paperbacks and said, “Read this.” I locked myself in my bedroom and turned the pages, reading my way through a intoxicated, lush, edgy world…sitting with the TV GUIDE tracking down every movie that originated from the bourbon-soaked ex-pat English master and the team of people that figured out ways to bring his narratives of integrity & corruption onto the screen.

One of the movies that will change you, if you have patience…and a soul. Once Upon a Time in the West.

Orfeu Negro - Samba de Orfeu
A rare moment when dark noir tension drifts on the rails with serenity.
