Publisher's Synopsis
We're living in the middle of a Cinema Noir revival - to the extent that in recent years a whole new category of movie has been identified as neo-noir'. In this short but well-researched book readers will find a treasure-house of noir, from the classics to the turkeys, from the modern to the ancestral. Also featured are some of the great screen stars who forced this genre into the limelight, whatever the critics of the day might have said, as well as those authors who penned many of the stories.
