I also believe the screen play was worked on by William Faulkner.

Faulker did work on the screenplay along with Leign Bracket, who also worked on "The Empire Strikes Back." That's a pretty distinguished body of work.
One of my favorite moments:
Librarian: Did you find what you wanted?
Marlowe: Yes, thanks.
Librarian: You know... You don't look like a man who would be interested in first editions.
Marlowe: I also collect blondes in bottles.
Also, I would recommend that anyone interested in Chandler pick up the collection of his later writings that was released by The Library of America. It contains his last 4 novels, some of his essays on writing, the screenplay for Double Indemnity, and a sampling of his correspondence with fans and colleagues. Lots of good stuff.
