>noir. I am trying to find any notes or journals kept by directors (or >technicians, etc.) who worked on films noirs. There is a load of >secondary sources, but the primary material is not as plentiful. Check with the Motion Picture Academy. They have quite a bit of material and probably can direct you towards more. I know that Turner has been doing extensive oral histories but these are not publicly available; not sure if there's much noir material there anyway. For even more digging you might also try contacting journalists and researchers who have interviewed such sources. ---- Screen-L is sponsored by the Telecommunication & Film Dept., the University of Alabama: http://www.tcf.ua.edu
