A Comprehensive Encyclopedia of Film Noir Applause Books Series Hardcover Written by John Grant
Featuring rumpled PIs, shyster lawyers, corrupt politicians, double-crossers, femmes fatales, and, of course, losers who find themselves down on their luck yet again, film noir is a perennially popular cinematic genre
This extensive encyclopedia describes movies from noir''s earliest days - and even before, looking at some of noir''s ancestors in US and European cinema - as well as noir''s more recent offshoots, from neonoirs to erotic thrillers
Entries are arranged alphabetically, covering movies from all over the world - from every continent save Antarctica - with briefer details provided for several hundred additional movies within those entries
A copious appendix contains filmographies of prominent directors, actors, and writers
