Read MoreVideo Essay: Character is Key.
The key to any good noir film is the key character types that are found within them. Throughout these weeks we have become familiar with tropes such as the Hardboiled Detective, the Jerk with a Heart of Gold, etcetera, and Alfred Hitchcock nails the classic femme fatale in his 1946 …
