Dear Screen-L:

"Naremore, one of our most perceptive and complete film scholars, 
looks into the many cultural tributaries feeding into noir and 
provides fresh insights into the films themselves."-Molly Haskell, 
_Washington Post Book World _

"Film noir" evokes memories of stylish, cynical, black-and-white 
movies from the 1940s and '50s-melodramas about private eyes, femmes 
fatales, criminal gangs, and lovers on the run. James Naremore's 
prize-winning book discusses these pictures, but also shows that the 
central term is more complex and paradoxical than we realize. It 
treats noir as a term in criticism, as an expression of artistic 
modernism, as a symptom of Hollywood censorship and politics, as a 
market strategy, as an evolving style, and as an idea that circulates 
through all the media. This new and expanded edition of _More Than 
Night _contains an additional chapter on film noir in the 
twenty-first century.
