Christmas noir and children's noir

[TopBilled]

These ideas have been raised in a thread on the General Discussions board.

Maybe we could also discuss it here.

Does A CHRISTMAS CAROL (1938) have elements of noir? And is THE INNOCENTS (1961) or THE BAD SEED (1956) an example of children's noir?

A question.

On any of these films, were the production personnel (directors, camera-operators, producers, grips, gaffers, writers) children themselves at the time?

What does that have to do with it? Children still worked on these films in front of the camera.

The Night of the Hunter would be my choice for a film with noir elements that revolves around children.

Excellent example.
