book: The Stranger (1942; trans 1988 Matthew Ward) by Albert Camus
By John Grant on Jan 18, 2020 From NoirishAlbert Camus’s L’?tranger/The Stranger/The Outsider is one of the most written-about books of the 20th century, so I doubt that any jejune thoughts of my own are going to add much to the sum of human understanding.

[Picks up a fireplace poker]
Mary Longstreet: Here! Use this!
Mr. Wilson: Look out the window. Look!
Professor Charles Rankin: Well, that's - that's an old trick, Mr. Wilson, a very poor trick.

Facts about
In the scene where Meinike is murdered, the culprit escapes through a door in the gymnasium which has a sign posted on it. The sign reads "Use at your own risk" and is signed "Coach Roskie". In reality there was a football coach that lived and coached at Todd School in Woodstock Illinois during the 1940s.
During the dinner conversation, a correspondent, Standish of the London Times in Berlin, is mentioned. This could be a reference to Henry Standish, a war correspondent for the 'News Chronicle', a UK daily paper (1930-1960). (Standish is quoted in 'What Buchenwald Really Means' by Victor Gollancz (1945)). Whether this reference is meant to be the same Standish and whether Standish really wrote an article similar to the one discussed in the film is not able to be determined.
