    Thank you for this Roger! I was looking for the review of the book and found your channel. I'll check out your other videos as well. Greetings from Finland!

      Greetings from the US Juha! I hope it is much cooler in Finland than here where the temperature topped 100 F 38 C yesterday. Imogen Sara Smith is a terrific writer and I always enjoy her presentations in the supplements on blu-ray releases. You can find some of her other writings at filmnoirfoundation.org. Thanks so much for commenting and take care..

    I happened upon an essay by Imogen Sara Smith titled Dana Andrews: The Forties Hero and His Shadow. Her insight into the actor and his films are nuanced and I connected with her writing. That led me to find some clips from her Criterion work and your review of her book. Good work.

      Smith has a great article on Argentine Noir, specifically The Beast Must Die, in the new issue of the Noir City magazine. She also has a new 30 minute video discussion with Eddie Muller in the supplements of the recent Criterion release of Double Indemnity, which is available on the Criterion Channel. She is my favorite contemporary film critic/historian and I really like her full bluray commentaries. Thanks so much for commenting and subscribing.

      Smith is doing a full commentary on the upcoming Night Has a Thousand Eyes that I’m looking forward too. Hopefully she will do more. Thanks for the comments.

    Mitch is no doubt the “King” of Noir, check out “Angel Face” my favorite

      Angel Face is one of my favorites as well. Mitchum was indeed the king of the noirs.

    Hallo Roger, thanks for that book review. I´m a Film Noir fan since a few years but strangely enough I found out about this book here on your channel. And I just subscribed your channel and now I will watch all your other videos from time to time. Perhaps three a day or so. All the best from Berlin, Germany! Chris

      Thank you so much, Chris. Imogen Sara Smith is a terrific historian of noir and I really enjoyed her newest commentary on the Kino release of Force of Evil. It is great to hear from people from around the world. And thanks for subscribing. I hope you continue to enjoy the content
