- From the page: "Characteristics of Film Noir 1. Film noir is the French label for the "black film" genre that peaked in the 1944-1955 period. Its origins are the detective novels of Dashiell Hammett 1929-34 (Sam Spade played by Humphrey Bogart in The Maltese Falcon in 1941) and Raymond Chandler 1933-43 (Philip Marlowe played by Humphrey Bogart in The Big Sleep in 1946) and the femme fatale novels of James Cain 1934-42 (Phyllis Dietrichson played by Barbara Stanwyck in Double Indemnity in 1944). Noir has influenced films to the present day, such as the crime thrillers of Don Siegel (Dirty Harry in 1971), gritty scifi of Ridley Scott (Blade Runner in 1982), predatory femmes of Adrian Lyne (Fatal Attraction in 1987), and hardboiled cops of Curtis Hanson (L.A. Confidential in 1997). 2. The historical setting is the contemporary world that has been corrupted and lost its moral certainty. The prevailing cynicism of characters reflects the reality of the atomic bomb, Cold War, totalitarianism, propaganda, Hollywood blacklist, corrupting power of the government and press. World War II fragmented men, caused them to feel adrift, insecure, alienated, a feeling of having "gone soft" and lacking power to control their lives. The liberal movement was in crisis, due to powerful forces of communism and materialism, causing a loss of faith in progress and man's innate goodness."

Amerika'nın ortasında vukuu bulan olayı da döndürüp komünizmin ezici gücüne bağlamış ya helal olsun. Duyan da Holywood kara listelerini de komünistler hazırladı sanır...
