Ilustration As Books Early Film Noir: Greed, Lust and Murder Hollywood Style

The name is French and it has connections to German expressionist cinema, but film noir was inspired by the American Raymond Chandler, whose prose was marked by the gripping realism of seedy hotels, dimly lit bars, main streets, country clubs, mansions, cul-de-sac apartments, corporate boardrooms, and flop houses of America. Chandler and the other writers and directors, including James M. Cain, Dashiell Hammett, Jane Greer, Ken Annakin, Rouben Mamoulian and Mike Mazurki, who were primarily responsible for the creation of the film noir genre and its common plots and themes, are the main focus of this work. It correlates the rise of film noir with the new appetites of the American public after World War II and explains how it was developed by smaller studios and filmmakers as a result of the emphasis on quality within a deliberately restricted element of cities at night. The author also discusses how RKO capitalized on films such as Murder, My Sweet and Out of the Past--two of film noir's most famous titles--and film noir's connection to British noir and the great international triumph of Sir Carol Reed in The Third Man.

Assessment Containing Books Early Film Noir: Greed, Lust and Murder Hollywood Style

Disappointing because some great insights here are muddled by the lack of editing. It is extremely repetitive and looping and long sections seem as though they are just paraphrased from biographies and film histories. About ten pages, though, of extremely insightful analysis of some of the great film noirs make this not a total waste.

Do you like your movies filled with suspense and evil? Did you enjoy any of the following movies: The Maltese Falcon; Double Indemnity; Murder, My Sweet; Crossfire; Out of the Past; Laura; The Postman Always Rings Twice; The Third Man; or Across the Bridge? If you answered "yes" to either question, I highly recommend Early Film Noir to you.Mr. Hare has written a fine exposition of how the film noir style evolved, the development of the key films in this genre and brief biographies of theDisappointing because some great insights here are muddled by the lack of editing.
