The Pequod Review:

Love’s Lovely Counterfeit owes something to Hammett's Red Harvest in its depiction of small-town corruption; the story involves a small-time politician who is double-crossed by his chauffeur. James M. Cain wrote this specifically with the film adaptation mind, and it was later made into the 1956 Allan Dwan movie.
