Film Noir: The Stuff Dreams Are Made Of

Presented by Chris Messineo, filmmaker.

A new breed of crime drama began to emerge during Hollywood's Golden Age. These dark tales with an equally stark look told the stories of men and women living in the shadows and the underbelly of society. Classic stories like "The Maltese Falcon", "Double Indemnity", "The Killers", and "Night and the City" changed filmmaking forever with characters who risked everything for "the stuff that dreams are made of."
