Doomed protaganists. Femmes fatales. The city at night. We investigate the enduring popularity of the cinematic genre known as film noir– and get a preview of San Francisco’s annual Noir City film festival, which starts on Friday at the Castro Theater.
Guests:
Eddie Muller, founder and president of the Film Noir Foundation, which sponsors the annual Noir City film festival in SF. His books include: "Dark City: The Lost World of Film Noir" and "Dark City Dames: The Wicked Women of Film Noir."
Marsha Hunt, actress and author. Hunt signed with Paramount in 1938 at the age of 17. Her films include "Pride and Prejudice," "Flight Command," and the noir film "Raw Deal."
