Description: This 96-page, hard cover film guide is titled "Noir Movies: Facts, Figures & Fun" by John Grant. It is a collection that, according to the dust jacket is: A lightning survey of the best -- and the worst -- of the world of noir movies. (It is) perfect material for a movie-based quiz or just a quiet read in the smallest room in the house!" It's a great introduction to the world of FILM NOIR. It looks at NOIR from a wide-ranging perspective, including trying to pinpoint a meaning for NOIR (something which has eluded every NOIRista I have ever met). It looks at many of the major NOIR writers (Hammett, Chandler, Cain, Woolrich, Thompson and Highsmith), as well as major NOIR directors (led by Billy Wilder). All in all, it's a fun read, a valuable reference for NOIR and a valuable bibliography for fans who want to pursue their study of NOIR further.
