This bountiful anthology combines all the key early writings on
film noir with many newer essays, including some published here for
the first time. Part one reprints eight seminal essays that
classify and analyse the period and its product and also offers the
initial extensive discussion of film noir in English. In Part Two
there are 'case studies' of individual film and film makers. Part
Three probes deeper into the question 'What Is This Thing Called
Noir?' -- the title of one of the new essays. Other original pieces
consider such issues as narrative structure, the femme fatale, the
influence of film noir on early television and, finally the rebirth
of the genre in the neo-noir films of our own day.
