Filmbuffs explore the world of noir cinema in a Los Angeles context withthis guide to noir films and their California settings. This bookillustrates how these films use L.A.'s diverse cityscape andarchitecture to convey a unique vision of urban corruption andexistential fatalism, in both the gritty downtown area and the outlyingaffluent communities like Malibu and Beverly Hills. Dozens of noir andneo-noir films are featured including classics such as DoubleIndemnity, Kiss Me Dead.
