This revised and expanded edition of Eddie Muller's Dark City is a
film noir lover's bible, taking readers on a tour of the urban landscape
of the grim and gritty genre in a definitive, highly illustrated
volume.
Dark City expands with new chapters and a fresh collection of restored
photos that illustrate the mythic landscape of the imagination. It's a
place where the men and women who created film noir often find
themselves dangling from the same sinister heights as the silver-screen
avatars to whom they gave life. Eddie Muller, host of Turner Classic
Movies' Noir Alley, takes readers on a spellbinding trip through
treacherous terrain: Hollywood in the post-World War II years, where
art, politics, scandal, style -- and brilliant craftsmanship -- produced
a new approach to moviemaking, and a new type of cultural mythology.
