Brian Wallace keeps the drumbeat going for the January 14 premiere of Monsieur Spade on AMC.
He just popped me a link to an advance review from the AVClub, which digs around a lot on the casting of Clive Owen as “the titular monsieur.” Check it out if inclined.
I believe Terry Zobeck has accepted the challenge of reviewing the six episodes here on These Mean Streets. A little more Hammett-centric, a touch more authoritative for the hard-boiled specialist. Don’t know if Terry will call it as soon as he’s seen the first installment or wait for the run to finish.
In either case, the wait is almost over.
Is the titular monsieur really Sam Spade or are they just calling him Sam Spade for fun?
