Although film noir is generally thought of as a male preserve, the role of female stars in noir is quite significant. This book is divided into three sections. In the first, 53 notable -- and not so notable -- noir movies are examined in detail, with complete casts and credits plus other essential background information. The second section provides thumbnail reviews and descriptions of a further 36 movies -- some to be admired, some to be avoided. The final section briefly details the noir careers of 13 classic female stars such as Ingrid Bergman, Hedy Lamarr, Barbara Stanwyck, Ida Lupino, Susan Hayward, Rhonda Fleming, Rita Hayworth, Gloria Grahame, Michele Morgan, Joan Bennett, Gene Tierney, and Ava Gardner. 86 big pages. 16 black-and white reproductions, plus front and back covers in full color.
