Bmanns Posted February 8, 2012 Share Posted February 8, 2012 Saw this movie the other day. Not bad, not that good. It actually reminded me more of a Timmy and Lassie type movie than a genuine Noir. Yet it's listed as a Noir in Spencer Selby's DARK CITY. Anyone else think it's not really a Noir??? Link to post Share on other sites
cigarjoe Posted February 9, 2012 Share Posted February 9, 2012 I haven't seen it, but I've found Spencer Selby's DARK CITY to be a bit too inclusive. I resently watched Undercurrent (which is one of the 25 Noirs he write an essay about) and didn't like it at all, it's more of a Gothic melodrama than a noir. Link to post Share on other sites
Bmanns Posted February 10, 2012 Author Share Posted February 10, 2012 Looked the book over again and believe you are correct. In his list of 490 films, there seem to be several that --reading the description--don't quite fit the Noir genre. But I imagine he did include all the ones that SHOULD be in there???
