Touch Of Noir: The Doomed Everyman Of Marcel Carné’s ‘Le Jour Se Lève’

September 29, 2013 by Katherine Springer

In some regards, film noir was a genre that came full circle, from the darkly brooding French films that inspired American tales of ill-fated, morally corrupt characters and back again to the French who coined the very term “film noir” and celebrated its impact as a genre.

Touch Of Noir: Fritz Lang’s Seduction Of Vengeance In ‘The Big Heat’

September 22, 2013 by Katherine Springer

The dangers that threaten everyday people and society differ from film noir to film noir, but what unifies them is their insidious nature. Fritz Lang’s The Big Heat (1953) is undeniably a film noir of the 1950s. Its protagonist, Det. Dave Bannion (Glenn Ford), lives the suburban American dream with a good job, a beautiful, […]

August 18, 2013 by Katherine Springer

    In his second film with Warner Bros., Alfred Hitchcock created what is arguably his best contribution to film noir.

Touch Of Noir: Romance Collides With Film Noir In Alfred Hitchcock’s ‘Notorious’

August 11, 2013 by Katherine Springer

As Alfred Hitchcock explored film noir further into his career, a distinct darkness would overtake his film’s outwardly wholesome Americana, and shadow would engulf his ill-fated characters. Breaking with the idealistic characters of Shadow of a Doubt, Hitchcock weaves a tale of deeply troubled people in Notorious. The film blends elements of melodrama, romance, spy […]
