To demonstrate this point, I first examine the reaction of the Warner Brothers story department to Native Son and to Ann Petry's novel The Street (1946), to argue that it was the narrative ideal of Burbanking that made these novels unadaptable to Hollywood film. They contend that such studies assume that "old" traditions are static, unchanging, and unadaptable to change. The script, by Brian Helgeland and director Curtis Hanson, does a remarkable job of melding Ellroy's themes and characters - from a seemingly unadaptable novel - into a cohesive, fast-paced whole, adding tart, memorable dialogue along the way. |
