bad boys was a text 2 students used in our half yearlies
but myself, astron and another student used agatha christie's 'the mousetrap'.
simply because we didn't have a text,
and we had a couple of notes on the mousetrap,
so we used that with the real insp. hound
oh, and another student used the film 'seven'
I saw an absolutely fantastic film on Fox Classics on Friday. It was called "The Letter" and was the perfect film to link in with the Big Sleep. It had elements of the Country House genre, (ties with Real Inspector Hound) but was filmed in America (links to the Big Sleep) AND it is a courtroom drama (links to Snow Falling on Cedars)
Not sure how it would link to Skull beneath the skin. Out school doesnt do that text.
For my half-yearlies, as huy said, I just did the Mousetrap and linked it to Real Inspector Hound (actually, more like contrasting).

I saw a text the other day,
the animatrix short film 'a detective story'
it was the only time where i've seen the word "hard boiled" used to describe a private detective outside of 'the big sleep'
i thought it strange seeing 'hardboiled'
just thought i'd mention it

I've always wanted to read and use 'The Mousetrap'cos I'm a big Agatha fan but this other film that Astron mentioned sounds interesting cos I'm doing all those texts, including SBTS. How old is the film Astron, do u know?
