Silver and Ursini trace the development of noir to its origins and document its borrowings from other visual arts, with chapters covering each of the recurring motifs that define the genre. Stills and background are provided for classics like "A Touch of Evil," "The Postman Always Rings Twice," and "In a Lonely Place."
