That's an excellent question and I think a case could be made
that there isn't series or roman noir. I'm not making but I
could see the argument.

Read the book. That is really dark. I think the cast is great
in the film but I'm not the fan of the film that others are.
Even so, I don't see it as noir and never will. Obviously,
that isn't linked to how I feel about the film.
But again, what links that film, "The Blue Dahlia" and
"The Asphalt Jungle"? No consistent theory that I ever heard
. . .
