Without their dedication to preserving and championing these films, none of us would have the opportunity to discover and enjoy them and so much would be lost to history.The Lady Evehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11963115499930520653noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8509825018139758536.post-66102698964721601532021-09-15T08:28:57.936-07:002021-09-15T08:28:57.936-07:00I have now put Muller’s updated edition on my Chri...I have now put Muller’s updated edition on my Christmas wish list! Like Michael Powell and Martin Scorsese before him, Muller is to be commended for promoting and preserving classic films. Many noir “B” film classics, such as Phantom Lady, would be forgotten if not for noir authorities like Muller singing their praises.

I hadn't realized it was that book that set him on a course to become the noir legend he is today.The Lady Evehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11963115499930520653noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8509825018139758536.post-67765532893767656302021-09-15T06:37:25.087-07:002021-09-15T06:37:25.087-07:00I had already perused Eddie Muller's book look...I had already perused Eddie Muller's book looking for more films noir to watch and enjoy. I feel like I'm always writing and blogging in his noir shadow! I enjoyed your review, especially the introduction and background on the esteemed Muller and his work.

I've read a few books on noir and have to say that this one stands out. As I mentioned, it is equally informative and entertaining thanks to Eddie's gift as a "wordslinger" (his term).The Lady Evehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11963115499930520653noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8509825018139758536.post-81798275806849283502021-09-13T23:01:26.644-07:002021-09-13T23:01:26.644-07:00I don't have the first edition, a serious lack...I don't have the first edition, a serious lack, so I definitely need this one. Thanks for selling me on it Patty. It sounds super with all the characters, stars and films that make up the canon plus some extras one wouldn't know. I've really enjoyed the much longer introductions Muller gives on TCM's Noir Alley, which are hints to what one can expect here I'm sure. Thank you for highlighting his new book here.Christian Esquevinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04442827724576856379noreply@blogger.com
