Touch Of Noir: Humphrey Bogart Finds Himself ‘In A Lonely Place’

July 21, 2013 by Katherine Springer

No actor is more associated with the genre of film noir or better suited to interpret its tropes than Humphrey Bogart. His filmography covers a wide range from comedy to westerns, but noir was his specialty.

Touch Of Noir: Stanley Kubrick’s Genre Changing Edgy Crime Noir ‘The Killing’

June 2, 2013 by Katherine Springer

Stanley Kubrick is best known for his films 2001: A Space Odyssey (1968), Lolita (1962), The Shining (1980) and A Clockwork Orange (1971), but he always considered his first mature feature film to be the elaborate film noir heist The Killing (1956). Clearly overshadowed by his later works, The Killing is generally viewed as a […]
