crime noir

Happy Ja-noir-y Old Soul Family! We are kicking off the New Year by visiting an Old Hollywood favorite...Double Indemnity (1944)! This sordid tale was unlike any other in its day. Between themes of murderous schemes (from the murderer's perspective), sexual temptation, and manipulation, this film set the gold standard of noir entertainment...all while pushing the production code guidelines. We revisit an old favorite topic of the PCA and how Double Indemnity (1944) marked a turning point in classic movies. The prolific Billy Wilder's first thriller is one you can never forget. So create an alibi and come conspire with us as we spy into the lives of Walter Neff, Keyes, and the Dietrichsons...

One is a Lonely Number (1952) by Bruce Elliott is a real obscurity, a dark and nihilistic escaped-convict story set mostly in Ohio. Black Wings Has My Angel (1953) by Elliott Chaze is one of the most praised crime noir books of its era, and for many years was a very desirable rarity in paperback.

These are both excellent books, terse and powerful and as lively today as they were in the early ‘50s. If you like the sound of them, then I can recommend Paperback Warrior and Stark House Press, who I’m sure will guide you and I alike to many more engaging reads from back in the glory days of paperback fiction.
