Bringing Darkness to light (noir documentary)

Film Noir burrows into the mind; it's disorienting, intriguing and enthralling. Noir brings us into a gritty underworld of lush morbidity, providing intimate peeks at its tough, scheming dames, mischievous misfits and flawed men - all caught in the wicked web of a twisted fate. With sharp-tongued commentary by James Ellroy, historian Eddie Mueller, Christopher Nolan comparing "Detour" to "Citizen Kane". "Out of the past" with Robert Mitchum - Jane Greer remembers Jacques Tourneur's advices to perform her femme fatale role. Robert Ryan and Cleo Moore in "On dangerous ground", Claire Trevor in "Born to Kill", etc.
