Includes bibliographical references (pages 109-114) and index.Film noir is one of the most intriguing yet difficult to define terms in cinema history.

In this Very Short Introduction James Naremore analyzes classic examples of the films, as well as a few lesser known noir pieces, highlighting their key themes and styles, and their major literary sources. He considers their methods of dealing with censorship, and looks to the future of noir in a world of digital media and video streaming.1. The idea of film noir -- 2. The modernist crime novel and Hollywood noir -- 3. Censorship and politics in Hollywood noir -- 4. Money, critics, and the art of noir -- 5. Styles of film noir -- 6. The afterlife of noir.

The chaotic aftermath was dubbed Mississippi Burning. This movie is told from the perspective of the FBI's operations to uncover evidence and bring the killers to justice. Anger over the real incident prompted the passage of the 1964 Civil Rights Act of 1964 and the Voting Rights Act in 1965. Although the fim was nominated for six Oscars and won the award for Best Cinematography, it stirred a great deal of controversy when it was released. In the years since, it has come to be considered a classic.
