One of the very best books on the market about film noir. The author/editors are supremely knowledgable on these films and write entertaining, thoughtful reviews of hundreds of films (and hundreds more that are listed in the appendixes with credits but no synopsis). If you don't find a film in the main body of the book, you can easily use the index and can usually find it listed (and critiqued) in one of the many essays in the appendixes. Among the useful appendixes: a chronology of film noirs (arranged by date, starting in 1927 with UNDERWORLD thru 1976's TAXI DRIVER), There are noi-specif filmographies for directors, actors, composers, writers, cinematographers, producers and studios. There's also a listing of neo-noir films from 1966 through 1992. You can't go wrong with this outstanding reference guide.Read full review
