Overview

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Nothing beats a good Hollywood crime drama. There's just something about the sex, guns, crime, drugs, blonde bombshells and smooth-talkers that really get audiences all riled up. Though there is some discrepancy among film buffs regarding what films constitute as a true film noir, this series takes a look at all the films that fit the bill. They're full of femme fatales, private detectives, murder, mayhem, and everything else that makes a crime drama go from good to great. Take a look inside at some of the earliest films in the genre like The Musketeers of Pig Alley, The Docks of New York, City Streets, The Maltese Falcon, Scarface, and many more. Also read about some of the prolific directors and actors that were synonymous with film noir like Jean Harlow, James Cagney, and Roy Del Ruth. Project Webster represents a new publishing paradigm, allowing disparate content sources to be curated into cohesive, relevant, and informative books. To date, this content has been curated from Wikipedia articles and images under Creative Commons licensing, although as Project Webster continues to increase in scope and dimension, more licensed and public domain content is being added. We believe books such as this represent a new and exciting lexicon in the sharing of human knowledge.
