vagabond1 Posted June 28, 2015 Share Posted June 28, 2015 we trailed off on discussing comedy noir in the neo-noir thread. i don't think the two genres fuse well without looking like spoof. i did mention BEAT THE DEVIL in the previous thread and the NAKED GUN movies Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JamesJazGuitar Posted June 28, 2015 Share Posted June 28, 2015 Unfaithfully Yours (1948). This comedy makes use of some noir themes and influences. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nohojim Posted June 28, 2015 Share Posted June 28, 2015 The Big Lebowski. Chandleresque characters: The rich guy in a wheelchair, the pornographer, bohemians, the corrupt cop in the beach town. Plus the p.i. gets drugged and beat up, just like in "Murder, My Sweet." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
