Los Angeles is an ideal city for film noir for both economic and
aesthetic reasons. The largest metropolitan area in the country,
home to an ever-changing population of the disillusioned and in
close proximity to city, mountains, ocean, and desert, the City of
Angels became a center of American film noir.This detailed
discussion of nine films explores such topics as why certain
settings are appropriate for film noir, why L.A. has been a
favorite of authors such as Raymond Chandler, and relevant
political developments in the area. The films are also examined in
terms of story content as well as how they developed in the project
stage. Utilizing a number of quotes from interviews, the work
examines actors, directors, and others involved with the films,
touching on their careers and details of their time in L.A. The
major films covered are ""The Big Sleep"", ""Criss Cross"",
""D.O.A."", ""In A Lonely Place"", ""The Blue Gardenia"", ""Kiss Me
Deadly"", ""The Killing"", ""Chinatown"", and ""L.A.
Confidential"".
