Dames, Dead Ends & Double Crosses: Film Noir 101
Like a neon sign buzzing in a rain slicked alley, film noir lures you in with its glow and leaves you in the dark. Whether in the sun bleached delusions of Sunset Boulevard, the venomous banter of Sweet Smell of Success, or the meticulous mayhem of The Killing, these films find glamour in the gutter and doom in every double cross. Seductive schemers, weary detectives, and dreamers one bad bet from ruin stumble through a corrupt, cynical world where fate always collects.
