I was at that panel. Eddie was the one who mentioned the
quote. Those of you interested in further exploring a
definition of noir (especially film noir) ought to check out
his non-fiction work such as "Dark City." Eddie's a real
prince. Great guy, very approachable, and loves to talk about
this stuff as well.
All the Best-
