Double Jeopardy: A BBC Radio 4 dramatisation Audiobook (Free)

Patrick Stewart stars as Raymond Chandler and Adrian Scarborough as Billy Wilder in BBC Radio 4’s enjoyable glimpse in the Hollywood film industry. In 1944 Raymond Chandler and Billy Wilder emerged together to focus on a display adaptation of James M. Cain’s book ‘Two times Indemnity’. Wilder is an ambitious 36-year-old German Jewish émigré just producing his name being a movie director, and Chandler is certainly a reformed alcoholic with a developing popularity as a novelist but zero experience of about Double Jeopardy: A BBC Radio 4 dramatisation composing for films. The play comes after their famously tough collaboration. Paramount studios put Raymond Chandler and Billy Wilder collectively because none of the big titles would touch Wayne M. Cain’s book. With its adulterous lovers and a criminal offense that could be copied, it had been judged too controversial to adjust due to the censorious Production Code suggestions. Chandler and Wilder famously hated one another but in a space of some four months locked within an office together they developed an outstanding screenplay for a ground-breaking traditional film. With Patrick Stewart (‘Macbeth’, ‘Superstar Trek’) as Chandler and Adrian Scarborough (‘Cranford’, ‘The King’s Speech’) as Billy Wilder, ‘Two times Jeopardy’ is directed by Claire Grove. ‘Increase Jeopardy’ was originally broadcast as the ‘Evening Play’ on 4 Feb 2011.
