Hollywood turned out some of the darkest film noir titles in the 1930’s and 1940’s.
Film noir is a cinematic term used to describe Hollywood crime dramas. These titles were made up of dark stories, often involving characters on the fringe of society.
Stories centered around cops and private detectives, gangsters and con men, society’s elite and those struggling to make end’s meat.
Much of the aesthetics of film noir is rooted in the arts of German Expressionism and many filmmakers familiar with this art movement made their way from Germany to Hollywood in the years before World War 2.
