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
