About this ebook:
Taking issue with many orthodox views of film noir, this study argues for a reorientation of this compulsively engaging area of Hollywood cultural production. The author recasts the films within a generic framework & draws on recent historical & theoretical research to examine both the diversity of film noir & its significance within American popular culture of the 1940s. He considers classical Hollywood cinema, debates on genre & the history of the emergence of character in film noir, focusing on the hard-boiled crime fiction of Dashiell Hammett, Raymond Chandler & James M. Cain as well as the popularization of Freudian psychoanalysis & the social & cultural upheavals of the '40s.
