   Did Dashiell Hammett really'suave' or 'hard-boiled'?

   • Hammett, who died in January 1961, gets yet another mystery-magazine byline this week with a story called "So I Shot Him." He gave us both Sam Spade and Nick and Nora Charles — so for a generation of readers, Dashiell Hammett more or less defined both "hard-boiled" and "suave." Not bad, that.

   Is Dashiell Hammett a vintage movie?

   • "Vintage in that you have the great vivid characterization that Dashiell Hammett is so famous for," Gulli tells NPR's Robert Siegel. "The terse dialogue, and the great tension that he ratchets up. But it's not vintage in that there's a lot of psychological elements to it. There's also even a bit of a literary feel."
