Lionel White
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Lionel White (1905 – December 1985) was an author whose dark noirish stories were sometimes made into films. His books include The Money Trap, Clean Break (adapted by Stanley Kubrick as the basis for his 1956 film, The Killing), and Obsession (adapted by Jean-Luc Godard as the basis for his 1965 film, Pierrot le fou). He died in December 1985. Seven years later, Quentin Tarantino, in his film Reservoir Dogs, credited White, among others, as an inspiration.
