Summary:

-- Most of these interview have been retrieved from a time when film noir did not have the prominence it has today, but old as they are they shed a blazing new light on the genre.

-- Among the directors whose words are recalled here are such enduring figures as Edward Dmytryk, Fritz Lang, Otto Preminger and Billy Wilder, who combined to give us noir classics like Murder, My Sweet, Scarlet Street, Woman in the Window, Laura, Double Indemnity and Sunset Boulevard.

-- Unlike its predecessors, Film Noir Reader 3 has the immediacy and authenticity that only the creators can bring to this subject.
