Apparently, that was never the intention of the filmmakers and were overruled by the producer who was afraid a tragic ending wouldn't sell. How things never change. But in the context of this story, the only appropriate ending is a tragedy. They were headed for a great big downfall. I do love Hammett. He's got a lot of subtext in the dialogue of his books, which I really loved.<BR/><BR/>Mark - Scarlet Street, baby! You gotta love Edward G. "The Woman in the Window" was pretty great, too. He gets totally suckered by Joan Bennett. I love that film.<BR/><BR/>Laura - You're right. They are modern tragedies. Those stories can never end happily. Love the idea. I'm working on a noir, too.Mystery Manhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17486331815227364944noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30413383.post-13997690134901637722008-04-22T15:10:00.000-04:002008-04-22T15:10:00.000-04:00I've always thought of Film Noirs as modern traged...I've always thought of Film Noirs as modern tragedies. They contain modern issues & backdrops, but in the end, the "hero" fails.<BR/><BR/>I have one Noir idea set in Miami where the protag is a woman who gets involved with a shady club owner. In the end it's revealed that he's actually a good guy & she brings about his downfall. She's a femme fatale who doesn't know she's a femme fatale.<BR/><BR/>It's going to be a good experiment to see if i can pull that off.<BR/><BR/>My husband was just watching SHAWSHANK were there's a clip from GILDA. He studied GILDA in film school & mentions it from time to time. I think I'll get him a copy. <BR/><BR/>:-)Team Brindlehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11617273530412639059noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30413383.post-62748009347912243472008-04-22T12:14:00.000-04:002008-04-22T12:14:00.000-04:00Over the years there has been many debates whether...Over the years there has been many debates whether or not Noir is a 'style' or a 'genre'. I've always sided with the genre (or sub genre) as it does adhere to certain principle story elements. One book I've read points to 'Double Indemnity' as being a film that really defines the genre.<BR/><BR/>Love Scarlett Street as well!

My Rita Hayworth phase.<BR/><BR/>Film Noir is fascinating, especially given the social context (with the men away at war, primary filmgoing audience was mostly women) during which it developed.<BR/><BR/>I thought Brick did a good job playing with the genre, and the author/director did so mostly by studying Dashiell Hammett.Laura Deerfieldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06481017193764065233noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30413383.post-36780424475493053202008-04-22T02:10:00.000-04:002008-04-22T02:10:00.000-04:00Not surprisingly, here are some of my favorite fil...Not surprisingly, here are some of my favorite films:<BR/><BR/>Body Heat<BR/>Wild Things<BR/>Red Rock West<BR/>Romeo is Bleeding<BR/>The Last Seduction<BR/>The Lair of the White Worm<BR/><BR/>And even, Femme Fatale.Christinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14805340886472955460noreply@blogger.com
