Creating an original, compelling film from scratch is hard enough, but adapting a popular novel into a successful movie brings its own unique set of complications. With the exception of books by authors like Elmore Leonard, who writes terse yet vivid prose that is naturally cinematic, it's impossible to perfectly replicate material from the page to the silver screen. Then there are those pesky books that, for one reason or another are deemed unfilmable,"" like ""Naked Lunch,"" ""A Confederacy of Dunces"" or anything by Kurt Vonnegut or Thomas Pynchon.

The Good German"" is a curiosity of a film""a homage to 1940s noir classics without the hard-boiled dialogue, a vivid aesthetic recreation rife with narrative anachronisms and a nostalgic celebration of the silver screen without a shred of sentimentality. It's no wonder that Warner Bros. has all but given up on marketing the film, which when combined with lukewarm reception by New York and Los Angeles critics will likely lead to the film's quick burial among the DVD racks, perhaps alongside the very films from which it borrows""most notably: ""Casablanca,"" ""The Third Man"" and ""A Foreign Affair.""
