"I determined that film noir truly began in 1941 by reading Los Angeles Times articles of the period," Vieira explained to The Committee Room. "They cited Citizen Kane and The Maltese Falcon as the first of the 'hard-boiled' trend."
As Vieira points out in Into the Dark, the term film noir was unknown to those who made these films. The term was coined by a French critic in 1946 to describe the large number of crime thrillers and murder dramas coming out of Hollywood but did not come into general use until the 1970s when these stylish films were rediscovered by a new generation of critics and moviegoers.

Dick Powell and Claire Trevor in Murder, My Sweet (1944). |
A few of the eighty-two films covered in Into the Dark were generously budgeted pictures based on bestselling novels such as Leave Her to Heaven (1945), shot by Twentieth Century-Fox in state of the art Technicolor. The vast majority, however, were modest productions with literary origins in pulp fiction. RKO, the smallest and most cash-strapped of the major studios of the classic Hollywood period, has the strongest representation in Into the Dark with seventeen entries including one of the progenitors Citizen Kane along with a film that is often seen as perhaps the noir-est of noirs, Out of the Past (1947), featuring a young Robert Mitchum as a private eye double-crossed by a shady businessman's girlfriend. "RKO was willing to do more film noirs because the films could be made quickly and cheaply, including the purchase of the story," Vieira told TCR.

John Garfield and Lana Turner in The Postman Always Rings Twice (1946). |
Joan Crawford, a major star since the early 1930s won her much longed for Oscar in the film noir Mildred Pierce (1945). Barbara Stanwyck, also a long established star, appeared in several top-notch noirs including Double Indemity (1944), The Strange Love of Martha Ivers (1946), and Sorry, Wrong Number (1948). Generally speaking though, the biggest box office names stayed out of the "crime cycle" that came to be known as film noir, leaving the territory clear for young newcomers and established but second-tier stars."[The top stars] images didn't allow for the kind of roles that Gene Tierney [newcomer] or Joan Bennett [second-tier] could play in film noir vehicles..After writing the book, I have to say that the Queen of Film Noir was Joan Bennett!" Vieira told TCR.

The Reckless Moment (1949) with "Queen of Film Noir" Joan Bennett. |
Into the Dark is chockablock with stunning photographs. One of the most striking -- of a youthful Burt Lancaster and Ava Gardner in The Killers (1946) -- graces the book's cover. "If I did a book of still photos from 1940s women's films, you'd be seeing just as many gorgeous images," Vieira says. "It wasn't film noir per se that was responsible. It was the studio system. In order to sell films that were beautifully photographed, the publicity department made sure that the 'unit stills photographer' captured the most noteworthy camera setups after they had been shot by the movie camera. That's why the photos in the book are so impressive."
![]() |
Beyond the Forest (1949). |
Can film noir be made today? Vieira thinks not, telling TCR -- "Film noir needs the alienated, obsessed, and doomed character. People are just too busy on the Internet to take time for obsession, don't you think? You have to pay attention to people to be obsessed."
Mark A Contribution is Appreciable in Hollywood as we know.

Even if you know what a Mortgage Broker Hillsborough does, when you do not actually rely on such a professional, you do not really know what to expect if you are ever going to need his assistance. Well, this does not mean that just because you are unware of certain details regarding a Mortgage Broker Stannington, you should simply visit a local bank or any other lender and opt for the help of one of their consultants.
