Novel By Chandler

[Carvill, John]

Yeahp. Although I don't think Hemmingway had much to do with the film,
aside from providing the title. Howard Hawks had some sort of bet with
the author I think, something along the lines of, I bet you couldn't
make a movie out of this.

Amusing Falkner anecdote: Falkner at some stage told the studio that he
couldn't concentrate there, and asked to work from home. When they tried
to find him later that week, he was not to be found at his apartment.
Eventually it transpired that Falkner had meant 'working from home'
pretty literally: he had gone 'home' to Mississippi!

He also co-wrote the screenplay for Hemingway's "To Have and Have Not".
The one film project to include two Nobel Prize-winning writers afaik...
