Sub-titled, “Best Movies of Mystery, Suspense and Film Noir”, this book examines 192 examples of the genre. Complete credits and release information are provided for each film. From “Abbott and Costello Meet the Killer, Boris Karloff” through to “Woman on the Run”, author John Howard Reid takes a look at one of Hollywood’s favorite genres, covering not only famous movies like “The Kennel Murder Case”, “The Maltese Falcon”, “The Thin Man”, “Notorious” and “Murder, My Sweet”, but the series films like “Charlie Chan at the Opera”, “The Falcon in Hollywood” and “Sherlock Holmes and the Scarlet Claw”. Many of these films are now widely distributed on DVD. Life is full of surprises. When JHR wrote this book, he had little hope that a masterpiece like “Daughter of Shanghai” would surface on DVD. But it is now available. So are all of the Thin Man movies; engrossing film noir entries like “The Dark Corner”, “Hangover Square”, “Beware, My Lovely”, “Johnny Apollo” and “The Second Woman”; famous foreign films like “The Wages of Fear”; and even extraordinary thrillers like “Confession” and “The Clouded Yellow”. Here is a book that will not only awaken wonderful memories, but provide an informative and reliable guide for further viewing.
