Film Noir explores the murky world of a genre responsible for many of film's most enduring images. Mark Bould discusses problems of definition and the often ambiguous nature of film noir and looks at modern films that could be called neo-noir. Iconic and enduring, film noir attracted great stars (Bogart, Bacall, Mitchum, Lancaster), many of the best directors of the era (Wilder, Lang, Preminger, Hawks, Siodmak, Welles) and this book is an indispensible guide to this popular genre.

 

Mark Bould is senior lecturer in film studies at the University of the West of England.

 

The Short Cuts series is a comprehensive library of introductory texts covering the full spectrum of film studies. With concise discussion of contemporary issues within historical and cultural contexts and the extensive use of illustrative case studies, this list of study guides is perfectly suited to building an individually styled library for all students and enthusiasts of cinema and popular culture.
