Departing from the approach of its Film Noir Reader predecessors, this
third volume in the series assembles a collection of interviews with
film noir directors and a cinematographer, few of whom are alive today.
Interviewees include Billy Wilder (Double Indemnity and Sunset
Boulevard), Otto Preminger (Laura), Joseph Lewis (Gun Crazy and The Big
Combo), Curtis Bernhardt (Possessed and A Stolen Life), Edward Dmytryk
(Murder, My Sweet and Crossfire), and Fritz Lang (Scarlet Street and The
Woman in the Window).
