Film-Noir, Mystery
The Screen's Most Gripping Drama Of Murder - And Desire!
Film noir, a classic film style of the '40s and '50s, is noted for its dark themes, stark camera angles and high-contract lighting. Comprising many of Hollywood's finest films, film noir tells realistic stories about crime, mystery, femmes fatales and moral conflict.
June Mills (Alice Faye) and her sister Clara live a quiet life in a small coastal town until Eric Stanton (Dan Andrews), a smooth-talking con man, comes into their lives. He seems to fall heard for June, but Clara believes he's interested only in the family fortune. Meanwhile, sultry waitress Stella (Linda Darnell) catches Stanton's fancy and thinks he might be her ticket out of town. The local cop (Charles Bickford) knows more than he's telling about his fellow citizens and their tangles relationships, which draw even tighter after a shocking murder.
