Synopsis
Film noir is one of the most exciting and most debated products of studio-era Hollywood, but did you know that American radio broadcast many programs in the noir vein through the 1940s and 1950s? These included adaptations of such well-known films as The Maltese Falcon , Murder, My Sweet , and Double Indemnity , detective series devoted to the adventures of private eyes Philip Marlowe and Sam Spade, and the spine-tingling anthology programs Lights Out and Suspense . Thrillers, Chillers, and Killers is the first book to explore in detail noir storytelling on the two media, arguing that radio's noir dramas played an important role as a counterpart to, influence on, or a spin-off from the noir films. Besides shedding new light on long-neglected radio dramas, and a medium that was cinema's major rival, this scrupulously researched yet accessible study also uses these programs to challenge conventional understandings of the much-debated topic of noir., Thrillers, Chillers, and Killers is the first book to explore in detail noir storytelling in cinema and on radio. Arguing that radio's noir dramas were a counterpart to, influence on, or a spin-off from the noir films, this scrupulously researched yet accessible study challenges conventional understandings of noir as well as shedding new light on a medium that was cinema's major rival.
