FALLEN ANGELS, that was it. The anthology and the TV series.
: Hi. The story's called 'Death Escapes
: the Eye'. The opening line is
: actually 'The other night at a party
: I met my last love again.' It
: appeared in the UK 'best of'
: collection REAR WINDOW. A revised
: version called 'Murder, Obliquely'
: (one of Woolrich's 'in case you
: missed the point' titles) appeared in
: the collection VIOLENCE, and was
: reprinted in a James Ellroy-edited
: anthology whose title I don't recall.
: The anthology was based on a six-part
: TV series, and printed the
: screenplays alongside the original
: stories... with some suitably
: brooding photos. It was called
: something like ANGELS OF NOIR. Sadly
: I can't find my copy. Perhaps it
: slipped into a crack in the fabric of
: reality... Ellroy's introduction
: makes some typically modest and
: rational claim like 'We went through
: Hell to write these stories for you.'
: So the story HAS been adapted... I
: just wish I had more details of the
: TV series in question!

: Hello, I've been a fan of Woolrich
: for
: over twenty years and reading this
: board is so inspiring!
: I'm trying to remember the name of
: one of his stories- A woman has a
: crush on an unhappily-married man,
: and wonders if he killed his wife
: that fateful night she dropped by to
: pick up her lost compact...I always
: thought it would make a great play.
: The first line of the story is
: "Last night I met my love
: again..."
