How did this East Coat sophisticate go from managing editor of “The New Yorker†to populist novelist accused of writing dirty books? The tour explores Cainâ€s L.A. from Hollywood to Glendale and along old Route 66, and includes illuminating visits to Forest Lawn Memorial Park (a Glendale institution and site of the funeral of Mildred Pierceâ€s “other†daughter, Ray), the Glendale Train Station where the “Double Indemnity†murder plot played out, and the punch line to a Billy Wilder joke so subtle, itâ€s taken 63 years for anyone to get. The tour will also cover the artisans who transformed Cainâ€s tales into film, including Billy Wilder, Raymond Chandler, Joan Crawford and Lana Turner, each an important contributor to the Film Noir canon.
