Whoa, "rigidity"? Aren't you the guy who insisted that noir
as genre started in 1932 and ended in 1955? If you're going
to have strong opinions, particularly ones that list members
find a little wacky, you're going to have to accept some
criticism.
Little Ceasar, The Maltese Falcon, Red Harvest, Green Ice,
Sanctuary and Death in a Bowl all came out before 1932.
Post-1955 novels are too numerous to mention, but some of the
best came out in the late 50s. After all, Gold Medal was
still going strong through the decade.
Oh, and Steely Dan is not one person. We get fringe benefits,
not French benefits, it's not the Leaning Tower of Pizza, and
James Dean was an actor-Jimmy Dean makes sausages.
