Thanks for your site, I love how you have been so loyal to the genre. I am a fan too of noir. Some of my favorite titles are: “Pickup on South Street” and “Quicksand”. Thanks for your major contribution to the effort of keeping noir alive and well!

Thanks Joyce. I am painfully aware of my shortcomings as a writer. I wrote this nearly three years ago, and it certainly needs revision. Any insights you have will be welcome. Tony

Extremely well written, Tony, and as an English prof., I know my stuff. Out of the Past is on TCM tonight, and I wanted a good explanation of film noir, which you provided–artfully. Let me know if you are able to edit ( not biggies), and I’ll tell you where to look. Read carefully. You should be able to find the spots yourself.

Keep writing. You’re exceptionally talented!
