Film noir is a particularly American stylistic phenomenon (although
named by French film critics) that permeated nearly every major,
minor and independent Hollywood studio production from 1940 through
the early 1960s. The author examines his personal choice of the
best noir film represented by each studio and includes each
studio's history and formation, a meticulous plot outline, an
examination of the careers of the star roster for each studio, as
well as each producer, director, screenwriter, camera man,
composer, art and set directors, a critique of each film as well as
a series of stills that represent the noir style. The book also
includes, in shorter form, a chapter on the independent productions
and the second choices of ""best"" film noirs of major and minor
studios, film noirs that did not make the first cut.
