thegreensofa It might just be me lol, the guy on the left reminds me of a side-profile faceshot of James Conran, from Carpool Karaoke 🎤. But he‘s not that old! 😆 10mo

Sweet Smell of Success | Ernest Lehman, Clifford Odets

I don‘t usually read screenplays, but one of the members of the Library Friends insisted that I should read this first, and then watch the movie. My husband insists the movie is too dark for me, but I think I can handle the book.

Dark City: The Lost World of Film Noir | Eddie Muller

Dark City is a generously illustrated coffee table book of film noir, featuring famous movies (Chinatown & Maltese Falcon) & lesser known gems (a personal fave Sorry, Wrong Number). Mitchum, Bogart, Crawford, Lupino & quite a few other #star actresses & actors. With a remake of Nightmare Alley (based on a book) & the holidays right around the corner, this would make an ideal gift for the film noir fan in your life. Even if the fan is yourself!

Film Noir Style: The Killer 1940s | Kimberly Truhler

pick

If you are a film buff, you will like this book. Not only will you learn more about the film noir genre, you will also learn all about Hollywood clothing designers. This is a large format book with many photos in each chapter. Even if movie fashion isn‘t your thing, it‘s a fun read. Five stars

A Panorama of American Film Noir (1941-1953) | Paul Hammond, Raymond Borde, Etienne Chaumeton

#ShesSoCold #AnglophileApril
The author on Barbara Stanwyck's portrayal of Phyllis Dietrichson: "a greedy, exciting woman avid for sexual kicks but almost certainly frigid."
Not sure if I'd use those words- I love film noir but this was not my favorite film book. But Dietrichson and Mary Astor's Ms. Wonderly of Maltese Falcon are two of my favorite femme fatales.

Reviewsbylola It‘s been way too long since I‘ve seen The Maltese Falcon! I think maybe I bought the book at some point. 🤔 5y

Billypar I own it but also unread. The classic hard-boiled noirs might be one of those rare cases where I'd prefer the films. Or at least I haven't been able to work up enough interest to read them yet! 5y

Palimpsest I love film noir. 5y

Theaelizabet “Not sure if I‘d use those words...” Or even that thought. It‘s been quite awhile since I saw the film, but that wouldn‘t be my takeaway. Interesting. (edited) 5y

Billypar @Theaelizabet Right? I read it a long time ago but I remember it being filled with rambling, lazy analysis- too much just to be chalked up to a poor translation. 5y

Billypar @Palimpsest I haven't seen any in awhile, but I went through a period where I watched so many: lots of good ones. 5y

Mdargusch Perfect! 5y

I love this series. This one had the old Hollywood movie vibes. Humphrey Bogart's ghost even has an appearance. Looking forward to reading the next book in the series

Wow! What a saga! I‘m entranced by Ruiz‘ wise and beautiful writing style. Yes, it‘s a long story, but its characters captivated me so much, I just kept on reading and reading and reading. Found this well read copy on the 1$ carts that Strand book has outside their shop ❤️. #theshadowofthewind #carlosruizzafon #barcelona #bestseller #newyorktimebestseller #saga #mystery #filmnoir #loveforbooks #strandbooks @strandbookstore
