Ein lesenswerterArtikel von Nathan Masters auf kcet.org:
" .... Chandler's hard-boiled detective fiction popularized Los Angeles as a setting for tales of common crime entangled with powerful, nefarious forces almost obscured by the perpetual sunshine and the glitz of the motion picture business—the city described by Orson Welles as a "bright and guilty place." That meme replicated itself on the silver screen, appearing not in film adaptations of Chandler's works and in original stories from Double Indemnity to Chinatown. Now, with the release of L.A. Noire, it is has spread to a new medium, and to a new generation ready to sleuth around the harsh shadows of the City of Angels."
