A Panorama of American Film Noir 1941 - 1953 Copyright 1955 by Raymond Borde & Etienne Chaumeton Buy It From Amazon
The filmography reproduced below is a reworking of Borde & Chaumeton's original, published in 1955 (the first book ever published on the Film Noir genre), plus those titles referred to in their preface and in Duhamel's postface published in 1979. It includes many films not regarded as Noirs or to have influenced Noirs and also has cartoons and short films (which have not been included in the list below). As a result the list is not a true Noir filmography (Noirography, if you will!) and has not been used in the main lists. For example, Singing In The Rain is included, but in the text Border & Chaumeton refer to the film only in explaining the influence of earlier gangster films - Gene Kelly was inspired by Scarface in composing the final scenes of the film. However, they note the colourful glitz and glamour of Singing In The Rain remove any of the tension of the original gangster films. Although no such distinction is made in the original filmography, I have divided the films listed between pre & classic era American Film Noir & Foreign titles.
