Two-Faced Females

By Veda Dalsette

Two original stories inspired by classic cinema. If you liked the movie, you'll love its Cinspiration.

CHINESE ANGLE was inspired by the 1974 film "Chinatown" starring Jack Nicholson and Faye Dunaway.

Private dick Pinky Manley gets reeled into a missing person's case by a plain Jane with a cockamamie story. With one dead end after another, Manley needs a Chinese angle to make a dent in the case and gets it in spades.

A fading movie star, femme fatale, confirmed bachelor, and more flesh out this 1947 hardboiled tale of murder, dope, blind ambition, and monsters.

Shadow Pinky as he covers Hollywood's seamy, sinful side in Chinese Angle.

FOOL'S PLAY was inspired by the 1978 film "Foul Play" starring Goldie Hawn and Chevy Chase.

Depression-era librarian Della Frick, suffering from ennui, gets more excitement than she bargains for after witnessing a murder. When a hungry newsman baits the shy miss into helping him find the killer, their adventure leads them into a world of clowns, clergy, spiritualism, birds, a mysterious dummy, and an even more mysterious albino.

Join them in this 1931 escapade, where the foolhardy laugh last, with FOOL'S PLAY.
