Description:
Eddie Muller – host of TCM's Noir Alley, one
of the world's leading authorities on film noir, and cocktail connoisseur –
takes film buffs and drinks enthusiasts alike on a spirited tour through the
"dark city" of film noir in this stylish book packed with equal parts
great cocktail recipes and noir lore.
Eddie Muller's Noir Bar pairs carefully
curated classic cocktails and modern noir-inspired libations with
behind-the-scenes anecdotes and insights on 50 film noir favorites. Some of the
cocktails are drawn directly from the films: If you've seen In a Lonely Place
and wondered what’s in a “Horse’s Neck” – now you’ll know. If you’re watching
Pickup on South Street you’ll find out what its director, Sam Fuller, actually
drank off-screen. Didn’t know that Nightmare Alley’s Joan Blondell inspired a
cocktail? It may become a new favorite. Meanwhile, Rita Hayworth is toasted
with a "Sailor Beware," an original concoction which, like the film
that inspired it (The Lady From Shanghai), is unique, complex, and packs a
wallop.
Featuring dozens of movie stills, poster art,
behind-the-scenes imagery, and stunning cocktail photography, Noir Bar is both
a stylish and exciting excursion through classic cinema’s most popular genre.
