Quiz Answers

Quiz Answer #5 Although the definition has been updated to appease modern assumptions, when Dashiell Hammett wrote "The Maltese Falcon" a gunsel was the homosexual companion of an older man. Hammett used this term because he knew that the conservative editor of the "Black Mask," which originally published the famous noir novel, would assume that a gunsel was a hired gun, and let the more scandalous term, and its implications, slip by. Hammet was correct, and the ruse was repeated when various versions of the book were filmed.
