Noir - as a style, movement, or sensibility - has its roots in hardboiled detective fiction by writers like Chandler and Hammett, and films adapted from their novels were among the first called "film noir" by French cineastes. But film isn't the only medium with a taste for a dark story. Hundreds of noir dramas have been produced for television, featuring detectives and femmes fatales, gangsters, and dark deeds, continuing week after week, with a new disruption of the social order. In TV Noir, television historian Allen Glover presents the first complete study of the subject.

In Bright Boulevards, Bold Dreams, Donald Bogle tells - for the first time - the story of a place both mythic and real: Black Hollywood. Spanning 60 years, this deliciously entertaining history uncovers the audacious manner in which many Blacks made a place for themselves in an industry that originally had no place for them. Through interviews and the personal recollections of Hollywood luminaries, Bogle pieces together a remarkable history that remains largely obscure to this day.

Il film di Germi del 1962 dipinge un'Italia e una Sicilia molto reali, immerse nella povertà del Dopoguerra. Il Barone interpretato da un grande Mastroianni è una delle figure più controverse e brillanti tra gli omicidi della storia del cinema e, allo stesso, tempo uno dei più pasticcioni. Si potrebbe dire che riesce nei suoi intenti nonostante se stesso!

La guida in audio al capolavoro di Giuseppe De Santis! "Riso amaro" è un capolavoro del neorealismo italiano del dopoguerra. Racconta una storia d'amore dai risvolti oscuri, apparentemente semplice. Una trama lineare fatta di tradimenti, sensualità e lavoro, che però traduce su pellicola molti temi importanti: come la donna eroina, che lotta al pari di un uomo ed è disposta a tutto pur di ottenere quello che vuole, un esempio di grande spregiudicatezza e sensualità nella figura di Silvana Mangano.

Ombre Rosse rappresenta nella storia del cinema l'esempio più noto del western classico, in cui si ritrovano tutti gli elementi fondamentali del genere: dai grandi spazi (la Monument Valley viene resa leggendaria proprio da questo film) al tema del viaggio, dal clima di minaccia incombente per la presenza degli indiani all'intervento della cavalleria, dall'eroe ingiustamente accusato che supera una prova impossibile alla punizione dei colpevoli.

Washington Post columnist Dana Milbank takes a fair and balanced look at the unsettling rise of the silly Fox News host Glenn Beck. Thomas Jefferson famously wrote that the tree of Liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants. It is its natural manure. In America in 2010, Glenn Beck provides the very refreshment Jefferson had in mind: Whether he's the patriot or the tyrant, he's definitely full of manure.

How do perceptions of the past - not just of particular events, but of the trajectory of history as a whole - shape our experience of the world? Sensing the Past tackles this question with an unlikely source of historical insight - the work of six major Hollywood stars: Clint Eastwood, Daniel Day-Lewis, Denzel Washington, Tom Hanks, Meryl Streep, and Jodie Foster. By focusing on the career choices made by these iconic actors, Cullen uncovers a discrete set of historical narratives, revealing the surprising ways historical forces shape our understanding of the world.

It was made like a television movie, and completed in less than three months. It killed off its star in 40 minutes. There was no happy ending. And it offered the most violent scene to that date in American film, punctuated by shrieking strings that seared the national consciousness. Nothing like Psycho had existed before, and the movie industry, even America itself, would never be the same.
