Characters in noir movies repeatedly implore one another, 'Trust me!' Although trust may not save the characters, it is often a horizon of hope. Examining twenty-eight great noir films from the first noir, The Maltese Falcon (1941), and other early examples such as The Big Sleep and Out of the Past, to such twenty-first century spy films as The Good Shepherd, Syriana, and The Bourne Ultimatus, this philosophical study sets out what audiences may understand about the representations of trust and commitment that noirs and spies propose. Recent films about international intrigue, the author posits, depict what happens when individuals give their primary allegiance to the state, and the moral consequences of that position are a major subject of this thought-provoking book."--Back cover. 650 0 $a Film noir $z United States $x History and criticism. 650 0 $a Spy films $z United States $x History and criticism. 650 7 $a Film noir. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00924273 650 7 $a Spy films. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01131033 651 7 $a United States. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204155 655 7 $a Criticism, interpretation, etc. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411635 830 0 $a Recencies. 941 $a 2 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20171227033451.0 952 $l USUX851 $d 20160826041553.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=F2940EFEECCE11E5A64DF5B3DAD10320Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
