...Coen brothers, Joel and Ethan, must have been watching movies since the womb. Their first film, the independently made hit Blood Simple, was a brilliant parody of film noir and the best example of that genre made since the death of James Cain.

But privately he derives consolation from a James M. Cain anecdote. An interviewer commiserated with the author of Double Indemnity and The Postman Always Rings Twice because Hollywood had ruined all his books. "Cain looked over at his shelf and said, 'No, they are all still right there.' " Besides, King's work has inspired a bona fide...
