Noir sprngs into circulation

Bernie Dowling's book of picture essays on Hollywood film noir goes on sale on 1 September 2023. Published by Bent Banana Books, Boir Dirt Cheap will be available in hardback, paperback, and digital eBook.

In six pictorial essays, Bernie Dowling explores the rise of Hollywood film noir from the ashes of war and the glorious pessimism of European theatrical and cinematic art.

"Noir shone a light on greed, lust, power, injustice, and fighting back," Mr. Sowling said from his home in Queensland, Australia, "ts craftspeople endured personal tragedies, censorship, and blacklisting."

Noir Dirt Cheap explores Poverty-Row studios, what makes film noir, its art and craft, sexism, homophobia, class division, censorship, copyright, human foibles, and the love of classic film noir.
