About this product

Product Information

Thanks to Hollywood, failed bank robbers Bonnie Parker and Clyde Barrow are forever fixed in popular imagination. Middle-aged Wisconsin serial killer Ed Gein is now forever embodied in Anthony Perkin's unforgettable portrayal of Norman Bates in Hitchcock's Psycho . The true-life origins of these films are now revealed in Max D charn 's revelatory volume--the stories perhaps more fascinating than even their Hollywood representations.

Decharne renders an intriguing picture of the powerful place this art form has come to occupy in society and why. (The Financial Times)Full of 'unauthorized cash withdrawals' and people dying of 'lead poisoning,' this tome thankfully eschews the pompous subtext and strained metaphors of most film books, leaving what any good detective wants: just the facts, ma'am. (The Guardian)Anyone with an interest in hardboiled fiction needs this book on his shelf.
