New York, NY: Da Capo Press, 2001. Text/BRAND NEW. Illustrated soft cover/NF w/trace creasing to lower back corner tip. Unabridged republication of the First Edition of 1981. Classic film history. "Film Noir" as a descriptive term was coined by French critics when they noticed a distinctly dark tonal change in post World War II American films ... thrillers became more sombre and pessimistic than preceding productions of the 1930s. The critical term only became accepted in the US in the late sixties. In character types, mood, themes, and visual composition, Double Indemity and Scarlet Street dramatize the consequences of obsession and offer a lexicon on noir stylistics. This volume explores the literary background, stylistics, narrative patterns, and directors and actors exemplifying this genre. Fine copy augumented by stills.. 2001 Reissue, First Printing. Soft Cover. Near Fine/None as Issued.

Since "The Dark Side of the Screen" first appeared two decades ago, when film "noir" was still a little-known group of dark, brooding postwar B-movies, it has become the essential take on what has become one of today's most pervasive screen influences and popular genres. Covering over a hundred outstanding films and offering nearly two hundred carefully chosen stills, this is by far the most thorough and entertaining study available of "noir" themes, visual motifs, character types, actors, and directors. Hirsch examines the features that make Burt Lancaster, Joan Crawford, Robert Mitchum, and Humphrey Bogart into "noir" icons; as well as the camera angles, lighting effects, and story lines that characterize the work of such major "noir" directors as Fritz Lag, Billy Wilder, and Orson Welles. With a complete list of credits to 112 films and a new introduction, Hirsch's work remains the classic analysis of the most original genre of American cinema.

This landmark work covers noir in full, from the iconic performances of Burt Lancaster, Joan Crawford, and Humphrey Bogart to the camera angles, lighting effects, and story lines that characterize the work of directors Fritz Lang, Billy Wilder, and Orson Welles.
