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 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.

[@ahar7624]

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?

Love Raymond chandler

I like how he reads it, Hard Boiled Style.

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

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?

[@johnstrawb3521]

@J W Yes indeed. Widmark, it is.
