Thanks to all those who have sent suggestions for the noir
course. I will respond individually and be a little clearer
about what the course might be. It WILL treat independent
noir novel and film texts and then also some film adaptations
(that's why THE BIG CLOCK; there's the original John Farrow
movie and then the Kevin Costner remake), though these latter
will probably be individual student projects. Thanks
again,
Jeff Evans
