Heavens to Murgatroid! THANKS for posting this absolutely engrossing interview! What a joy to hear the voices of two great authors! I've greatly enjoyed the couple of James Bond books I've read. And in fact, I'm reading Chandler right now. I just finished his "The High Window" and have just started "The Long Goodbye". You've MADE my day & my week! CHEERS, mate! :-)
Most "old farts" have already forgotten what young airheads still have to learn, that is the problem. This interview is irony meeting flippancy - so true to their respective styles. Chandler is a cross cultural character - american 'can do bluntness' overlaid on British 'self aware mocking'. Not many authors are like that.
( lol ) It's amusing to hear a pair of old farts just rambling away at seemingly nothing. It would have been nice to have heard a younger, healthier Chandler.
Thanks for uploading this historic and priceless interview.
This is a legendary conversation referenced in a book from the early '60's called "007: A Report," that I never thought I'd ever get to hear.
Chandler has just released "Playback," Fleming is about to release "Goldfinger," and Chandler is working on a book that will remain unfinished, at his death, for over 30 years... Robert B. Parker will complete it and it will be titled "Poodle Springs."
This is a legendary conversation about which I'd read references in an overview book entitled "007: A Report," back in the early '60's. i never ever thought I'd get to hear it.
As they chat, "Playback" has just been released, "Goldfinger" is about to be released, and Chandler tells Fleming about his next book, which will remain unfinished after his death for over 30 years, and will finally be released as "Poodle Springs" after Robert B. Parker completes it.

@tuxguys My apologies for the duplication above... YouTube's new format is still confucing to me, on occasion.
