  • 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! :-)

    If it was any cooler it would frozen !!!

  • @burmanhands

    May I presume to agree with you, and commend you, sir, on your insight and concision? My compliments.

  • 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.

  • Thank you so much 'phutato' for uploading this Chandler-Flemming interview. A real, rare gem.

  • "Gum-Shoe? (The kind of guy who always found himself liable, to end up in a sticky-situation?)"

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

  • What a feast this is...

    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."

    How cool is this?

    Thank you Poster.

    Thank you YouTube.
