The morally compromised \"heroes\" of the 1940s were unthinkable in the 1930s. Like all good film critics, Luhr makes me want to see my favorite films again because he has shown me things I missed. And then there are all those films I didn't see that are now on my list because of William Luhr.”  (\u003ci\u003eCarl Rollyson\u003c\/i\u003e, 16 June 2012)\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eList of Plates ix  \u003cp\u003eAcknowledgments xiii\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e1 Introduction 1\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e2 Historical Overview 20\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e3 Critical Overview 50\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e4 \u003ci\u003eMurder, My Sweet\u003c\/i\u003e 73\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e5 \u003ci\u003eOut of the Past\u003c\/i\u003e 100\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e6 \u003ci\u003eKiss Me Deadly\u003c\/i\u003e 123\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e7 \u003ci\u003eThe Long Goodbye\u003c\/i\u003e 146\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e8 \u003ci\u003eChinatown\u003c\/i\u003e 171\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e9 \u003ci\u003eSeven\u003c\/i\u003e 191\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eAfterword 215\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eReferences 217\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFurther Reading 223\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIndex 225\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"John Wiley and Sons Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49407879938391,"sku":"9781405145954","price":30.35,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9781405145954.jpg?v=1730500834","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/film-noir-9781405145954","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
