About this title: This illustrated volume covers the films, directors and themes of the film noir genre 1945-1955. Including an analysis of film noir classics such as "Double Indemnity" and "The Big Sleep", it shows how the shadowy world portrayed related to social and political uncertainties of the McCarthy era. Also discussed is the revival of the film noir tradition in contemporary movies such as "Chinatown", "Body Heat" and "The Grifters".
