Klappentext
Paris, summer 1946. This moment marks an important event in cinema history, not of production but of exhibition. For this was the summer when, after the hiatus of the Second World War, French critics were again given the opportunity to view films from Hollywood. The films they saw, including The Maltese Falcon, Double Indemnity, Laura, Murder, My Sweet, and The Woman in the Window, prompted the naming and theorization of a new phenomenon: film noir.

Zusammenfassung
These essays examine "film noir" in the light of contemporary social and political concerns, attempting to move beyond the views of the early French critics. Topics range from the re-emergence of "noir" in films such as "Bladerunner", to the relations between the sexes and the role of women.
