Warner Bros. remade it in 1940 as "Calling Philo Vance" with James Stephenson as Vance and William Clemens directing.<br /> <br /> S. S. Van Dine is the pseudonym used by American art critic Willard Huntington Wright October 15 1888 - April 11 1939 when he wrote detective novels. Wright was an important figure in avant-garde cultural circles in pre-World War I New York and under the pseudonym which he originally used to conceal his identity he created the fictional detective Philo Vance a fictional amateur detective who was featured in 12 novels in the 1920s and 30s. During that time Vance was immensely popular in books films and radio. He was portrayed as a stylish even foppish dandy a New York bon vivant possessing a highly intellectual bent. Van Dine was also a fictional character in the books a sort of Dr. Watson figure who accompanied Vance and chronicled his exploits. <br /> As Van Dine described the character of Vance in the first of the novels The Benson Murder Case: «Vance was what many would call a dilettante but the designation does him an injustice. He was a man of unusual culture and brilliance. An aristocrat by birth and instinct he held himself severely aloof from the common world of men. In his manner there was an indefinable contempt for inferiority of all kinds. The great majority of those with whom he came in contact regarded him as a snob. He detested stupidity even more I believe than he did vulgarity or bad taste.». Coop Clark unknown
