Film Noir Reader 3 by Alain Silver

Departing from the approach of its Film Noir Reader predecessors, this third volume in the series assembles a collection of interviews with film noir directors and a cinematographer, few of whom are alive today. Interviewees include Billy Wilder (Double Indemnity and Sunset Boulevard), Otto Preminger (Laura), Joseph Lewis (Gun Crazy and The Big Combo), Curtis Bernhardt (Possessed and A Stolen Life), Edward Dmytryk (Murder, My Sweet and Crossfire), and Fritz Lang (Scarlet Street and The Woman in the Window).
Alain Silver is a writer, director, and producer of more than more than two dozen independent features. Early in his career, he worked as an assistant director in mainstream productions at Warner Bros., Paramount, MGM, and Columbia--working with budgets in the millions--before committing himself to independent films. His last two films were each shot for less than $7,500. Alain Silver is also the author of Raymond Chandler's Los Angeles, The Noir Style, The Samurai Film, and The Film Noir Encyclopedia, all available from Overlook.
