Encyclopedia of Film Noir
When viewers think of film noir, they often picture actors like Humphrey Bogart playing characters like Sam Spade in The Maltese Falcon, the film based on the book by Dashiell Hammett. Yet film noir is a genre much richer. The authors first examine the debate surrounding the parameters of the genre and the many different ways it is defined. They discuss the Noir City, its setting and backdrop, and also the cultural (WWII) and institutional (the House UnAmerican Activities Committee, and the Production Code Administration) influences on the subgenres. An analysis of the low budget and series film noirs provides information on those cult classics. With over 200 entries on films, directors, and actors, the Encyclopedia of Film Noir is the most complete resource for film fans, students, and scholars.
The Right Velocity
Is Brian McDonnells Jeb Wills a different kind of private eye? Yes. Wills steps back from a fistfight. Wills gets along well with the Austin Police Department Homicide crew. Wills calls Dallas to monitor an investment position, and calls Houston to check on his clients finances. Wills concentrates on tasks at hand -- such as recreational sex with his clients sons girlfriend. Brian McDonnell steers an efficient and pragmatic course through events that began with a missing person case -- the disappearance of Wills clients son.

Shadow of a Doubt
Shadow of a Doubt (1943) was British-born Alfred Hitchcock’s sixth American film and the one that he at various times identified as his favourite and his best. It seems likely that one of the reasons he liked Shadow so much is that is an extraordinarily well-ordered narrative system, a meticulous cause and effect chain that melds its various scenes and sequences together to form a unified narrative that is highly effective in building suspense and cultivating identification with characters. This scrupulously organized film operates as a masterclass on principles of narrative design while generating resonant commentary on the nature of family life. This book redresses the deficit of sustain...
