Noir

I find film noir interesting. Thanks for the picks. I've seen at least six of them and endorse them. The others I've seen bits of.

Just wondering about your take on why film noir continued in popularity in the US after WW2 after the earlier economic depression ended with the war economy back then. US in the 1950's was booming. Had it something to do with the looming possibility of nuclear warfare and the pessimism resulting from that?

Further, why has its influence on filmmakers continued until today? Same deal? We are still on the verge of blowing up the planet, despite cell phones, Amazon and Youtube?
