This ultimate companion to gritty black-and-white postwar classics reveals that the dark stars led desperate, nefarious lives both on-screen and off., Eddie Muller seriously takes film noir not too seriously--just the right mix, and with great stills., "The best book ever written on film noir."--Mystery Scene "Eddie Muller seriously takes film noir not too seriously-just the right mix, and with great stills."--Paul Schrader "Dark City is a thoroughly enjoyable companion to the unique, sometimes twisted pleasures of film noir, from acknowledged classics like Out of the Past to lesser-known gems like Born to Kill and The Chase. In a genre where some see mostly fatalism and social critique, Eddie Muller also finds humor, eroticism, and the unfettered inventiveness of an extraordinary generation of directors and actors."--Geoffrey O'Brien, author of The Phantom Empire "This ultimate companion to gritty black-and-white postwar classics reveals that the dark stars led desperate, nefarious lives both on-screen and off."--Details "Even if you aren't a film buff, you'll probably find Dark City compelling. . . .

This book displays a salutary knowledge of the underpinnings of the genre; serves as a fabulous reference book; and most importantly, dishes the real life dirt on the freaks, geeks, commies, nymphos, hopheads, has-beens, red-baiters, and all-purpose fiends who made this genre great."--James Ellroy, "The best book ever written on film noir."-- Mystery Scene "Eddie Muller seriously takes film noir not too seriously-just the right mix, and with great stills."--Paul Schrader " Dark City is a thoroughly enjoyable companion to the unique, sometimes twisted pleasures of film noir, from acknowledged classics like Out of the Past to lesser-known gems like Born to Kill and The Chase .

Synopsis
Welcome to Dark City , urban landscape of the imagination. A place where the men and women who created film noir often find themselves dangling from the same sinister heights as the silver-screen avatars to whom they gave life. Eddie Muller, who led readers on a guided tour of the seamier side of motion pictures in Grindhouse: The Forbidden World of 'Adults Only' Cinema , now takes us on a spellbinding trip through treacherous terrain: Hollywood in the post-World War II years, when art, politics, scandal, style--and brilliant craftsmanship--produced a new approach to moviemaking, and a new type of cultural mythology. Dark City is a 1999 Edgar Award Nominee for Best Critical / Biographical Work.

- 9***3 (123)- Votos emitidos por el comprador.Últimos 6 mesesCompra verificadaExtremely fast shipping, packaging was phenomenal and done carefully and figure along with its original packaging arrived intact and in pristine condition. Item is just as described and shown in the original post, and cost for the item along with the shipping fee was a fantastic deal. The figure itself looks absolutely amazing and will make for a great addition to my Spawn collection. Great seller, highly recommended, thank you very much!!!! A++++
- 3***l (18)- Votos emitidos por el comprador.Últimos 6 mesesCompra verificadaItem arrived quickly, in secure packaging. Item is as described; in original packaging, a little age-coloured but that's unavoidable for a plastic clamshell item from 2004. Exactly what I wanted! Good value for a vintage purchase.
- b***r (1066)- Votos emitidos por el comprador.Mes pasadoCompra verificadaThe item arrived quickly and in the condition described by the seller. I think the shipping costs were a little excessive since it was mailed without a case... in a flat envelope. Other than that it was a fair deal when I bought it... now I'm finding the same movie for $20 including shipping.
