"This new crime fiction adapted brilliantly to the screen, birthing a cinematic genre that was christened "film noir." This volume provides a detailed exploration of film noir, tracing its evolution, the influence of such legendary writers as Dashiell Hammett and Raymond Chandler, and the films that propelled this dark genre to popularity in the mid-20th century"--
