Chandler?s Spider Women ? Female Criminality from Page to Screen
Original language description
This article focuses on the female criminality presented in Raymond Chandler's novels The Big Sleep and Farewell, My Lovely and their subsequent screen adaptations of two different eras ? The Big Sleep (1946 and 1978), Murder, My Sweet (1944) and Farewell, My Lovely (1975). Here I try to prove that Chandler's presentation of female criminality has been simplified and schematized in these films, the films that were influenced by the social climate of the era they were shot in. Chandler's portrayal and exposure of crime committed by women ? homicide, nymphomania, prostitution, pornography, blackmail, and calculated deceit ? is in these films either completely erased or altered, thus adding a different dimension to the meaning proposed in the novel. Chandler's approach to the criminal/femme fatale(s) is his/Marlowe's obvious compassion towards the woman and moreover he does not pigeon-hole this character.
