Documentary with theatrical release on American crime novelist Patricia Highsmith. I'm just going to add her little French vehicle.![[Image: x-lovinghighsmith2022.jpg]](http://pics.imcdb.org/3321/23/x-lovinghighsmith2022.jpg) -- Last edit: 2023-04-08 02:08:25 |

The Simca is mentioned in the book 'The Talented Miss Highsmith' by Joan Schenkar, p 42. "...A young friend of Pat — the kind of friend who painted Pat's kitchen for free and went out to Moncourt to turn over the engine of Pat's “awful metallic blue Simca" so the battery wouldn't die when Pat was away (Pat managed to find many such friends) - was given a key to Pat's house so she could use it in Pat's absence. One time, when Pat was gone, the young woman opened the door to a photographer who was obsessed by Pat's work, and the photographer took secret pictures of Pat's personal possessions..." So one of her lesbian groupies would start the car and not drive it, which wears out the battery even quicker. |
