  and it is a classic. One can read it in a couple of hours. I read it every couple of years. Camus cited it as a major influence on The Stranger.
  
  The movie script however, was not written by James M. Cain. It was written by Raymond Chandler, and it is brilliant in its own way. It is one of the very best of the noirs.
  - Righto! Cain and Chandler, could it get any better? nt - tinear 10:32:20 02/02/14 (1)

I'd put it into the top 10, though Stanwyck's a good argument for a higher rating� nt - tinear 14:06:05 02/01/14 (0)
