THE GLASS KEY
(1942)
Starring Alan Ladd, Veronica Lake, Brian Donlevy, William Bendix; dir: Stuart Heisler
"The Maltese Falcon excepted, the 1942 version of The Glass Key is the best adaptation of a Hammett story Sparkuhls low-key photography is an evocative change from the full-lit 1935 version of The Glass Key, as is former pulp writer Latimers catalogue of tough lines"
