5.0 out of 5 stars Lightning Strikes Twice, December 7, 2002
By 
Michael Samerdyke (Big Stone Gap, VA USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Film Noir Reader II (Softcover) (Bk.2) (Paperback)
Film Noir Reader 2 is as interesting as its forerunner. Not every article is great, but there is a lot of interest here.

The book opens with film writings from the Forties that show that while Americans did not coin the term film noir, some writers did notice a trend developing.

There are interesting articles on Cornell Woolrich, Sam Fuller and noir and painting. The article on British Film Noir is quite fascinating.

At the end of the book is a piece by a professor who discusses how he teaches a course on film noir. So this book traces film noir from a barely discerned trend to an academic course of study. Neat.
