One of the first of these dramatic visual elements was Film Noir, a way to highlight the darkness of a character and the lightness of another. The contrast of extreme light to dark came from paintings (chiaroscuro) and was adopted by European filmmakers to bring mood and emotion to their creations. Hollywood then went to pick it up and made it world renowned. Film Noir is the French for &#8216;dark films&#8217;. The word &#8220;film noir&#8221; was first adopted by French critics to describe the subdued lighting employed to stylistically enhance these dramas, but it would not catch on in other countries&#8217; critical communities until Raymond Borde and \u00c9tienne Chaumeton&#8217;s book Panorama du cinema noir Americain (1955) was published.

With the advent of the Second World War, a new tone in film drama became apparent: a gloomy, foreboding atmosphere that stemmed as much from the characters portrayed as it did from the cinematographer&#8217;s skill. The darkness of these films reflected the disillusionment of those times. The 1930s Great Depression and the subsequent global war caused an increase in pessimism and disillusionment in the American psyche. Banned in countries affected by the war, these films became widely in European countries in 1946. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/staging.centmagazine.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/FNP-Sunset-Blvd-Stroheim-Holden.jpeg?ssl=1\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"580\" height=\"690\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/staging.centmagazine.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/FNP-Sunset-Blvd-Stroheim-Holden.jpeg?resize=580%2C690&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-125401\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/staging.centmagazine.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/FNP-Sunset-Blvd-Stroheim-Holden.jpeg?w=682&amp;ssl=1 682w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/staging.centmagazine.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/FNP-Sunset-Blvd-Stroheim-Holden.jpeg?resize=252%2C300&amp;ssl=1 252w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 580px) 100vw, 580px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-right has-secondary-color has-text-color wp-block-paragraph\">Sunset Boulevard MPTV Images <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left has-secondary-color has-text-color wp-block-paragraph\">Reel Art Press brings back a glimpse of the Film Noir age in November 2022, which reveals unseen images and previously unpublished outtakes from Night of the Hunter and Sweet Smell of Success, and classic stills from films like Gilda, Double Indemnity and Lady From Shanghai. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/staging.centmagazine.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/FNP-Lady-From-Shangai-Welles-Hayworth.jpeg?ssl=1\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"580\" height=\"472\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/staging.centmagazine.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/FNP-Lady-From-Shangai-Welles-Hayworth.jpeg?resize=580%2C472&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-125397\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/staging.centmagazine.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/FNP-Lady-From-Shangai-Welles-Hayworth.jpeg?w=1024&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/staging.centmagazine.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/FNP-Lady-From-Shangai-Welles-Hayworth.jpeg?resize=300%2C244&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/staging.centmagazine.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/FNP-Lady-From-Shangai-Welles-Hayworth.jpeg?resize=768%2C626&amp;ssl=1 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 580px) 100vw, 580px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-right has-secondary-color has-text-color wp-block-paragraph\">Lady From Shangai  MPTV Images <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left has-secondary-color has-text-color wp-block-paragraph\">For their icy, cynical protagonists and dark, brooding manner, French cineastes liked them, and they lavished the pictures with acclaim in publications like Cahiers du cin\u00e9ma. When the French cinema critic referred to these movies as &#8220;film noir,&#8221; a genre in and of itself evolved, including such classics as Double Indemnity, The Woman in the Window, Touch of Evil, and Sunset Boulevard. Cynical heroes, stark lighting effects, frequent use of flashbacks, intricate plots and an underlying existentialist philosophy used to be the most prevalent elements characterized in the style of filmmaking, especially in American crime dramas.<em> <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-secondary-color has-text-color wp-block-paragraph\">A-list celebrities like Robert Mitchum, Barbara Stanwyck, Rita Hayworth, Orson Welles, and Humphrey Bogart are discussed alongside the best character actors of the time (Gale Sondergaard, Jean Brooks, Dolores del Rio, George Raft).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/staging.centmagazine.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/FNP-Big-Sleep-Bogart-Bacall.jpeg?ssl=1\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"580\" height=\"741\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/staging.centmagazine.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/FNP-Big-Sleep-Bogart-Bacall.jpeg?resize=580%2C741&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-125398\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/staging.centmagazine.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/FNP-Big-Sleep-Bogart-Bacall.jpeg?w=682&amp;ssl=1 682w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/staging.centmagazine.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/FNP-Big-Sleep-Bogart-Bacall.jpeg?resize=235%2C300&amp;ssl=1 235w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 580px) 100vw, 580px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-right has-secondary-color has-text-color wp-block-paragraph\">The Big Sleep MPTV Images<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-secondary-color has-text-color wp-block-paragraph\">Some of the early instances of  Noir style are Dark, stylised detective movies like John Huston&#8217;s The Maltese Falcon (1941), Frank Tuttle&#8217;s This Gun for Hire (1942), Otto Preminger&#8217;s Laura (1944), and Edward Dmytryk&#8217;s Murder, My Sweet!
