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.
