Dear Screen-L: The University of California Press is pleased to announce the repackage of: More than Night: Film Noir in Its Contexts James Naremore is Emeritus Chancellors' Professor of Communication and Culture, English, and Comparative Literature at Indiana University. His books include _Acting in the Cinema, The Magic World of Orson Welles, The Films of Vincente Minnelli, _and _On Kubrick. _ http://go.ucpress.edu/NaremoreNight "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.
