Film Noir by Paul Duncan
1940 to 1958 was the heyday of Film Noir, that elusive mixture of stark film lighting and even starker emotions. Many films of that period explored the dark side of society - gangsters, hoodlums, prostitutes and killers - and showed how it corrupted the good and the beautiful. Even worse, sometimes the so-called good and the beautiful revealed themselves to be even sicker than the dregs of society. What's in this Pocket Essential guide? As well as an introductory essay on the origins of Film Noir, a variety of subjects are explained by a more detailed examination of specific noir films, plus there is a handy multimedia reference guide.
Paul Duncan is the co-founder of Crime Time magazine and edited The Third Degree: Crime Writers in Conversation (No Exit Press). He is the author of Pocket Essentials on Stanley Kubrick, Martin Scorsese, Alfred Hitchcock, Film Noir and Noir Fiction.
