About This Item
New York, NY: Da Capo Press, 2001. 2001 Reissue, First Printing . Soft cover. Near Fine/None as Issued. Text/BRAND NEW. Illustrated soft cover/NF w/trace creasing to lower back corner tip. Unabridged republication of the First Edition of 1981. Classic film history. "Film Noir" as a descriptive term was coined by French critics when they noticed a distinctly dark tonal change in post World War II American films ... thrillers became more sombre and pessimistic than preceding productions of the 1930s. The critical term only became accepted in the US in the late sixties. In character types, mood, themes, and visual composition, Double Indemity and Scarlet Street dramatize the consequences of obsession and offer a lexicon on noir stylistics. This volume explores the literary background, stylistics, narrative patterns, and directors and actors exemplifying this genre. Fine copy augumented by stills.
