Ludwig holds the last cords as the music totally dies out. Nobody moves while his hands are still slightly lifted. Finally, he lowers his hands and lets his arms fall down along his body. He stands deeply concentrated with his head bowed. With one hand, he brushes his hair back. He turns to the audience. An enormous applause evolves to standing ovations. Ludwig turns and lifts his arms toward the audience. He turns back to orchestra and again lifts his arms.

Film noir_literally 'black cinema'_is the label customarily given to a group of black and white American films, mostly crime thrillers, made between 1940 and 1959. Today there is considerable dispute about what are the shared features that classify a noir film, and therefore which films should be included in this category. These problems are partly caused because film noir is a retrospective label that was not used in the 1940s or 1950s by the film industry as a production category and therefore its existence and features cannot be established through reference to trade documents.
