This revised and expanded edition of Eddie Muller's Dark City is a film noir lover's bible， taking readers on a tour of the urban landscape of the grim and gritty genre in a definitive， highly illustrated volume。

Dark Cityexpands with new chapters and a fresh collection of restored photos that illustrate the mythic landscape of the imagination。 It's a place where the men and women who created film noir often find themselves dangling from the same sinister heights as the silver-screen avatars to whom they gave life。 Eddie Muller， host of Turner Classic Movies' Noir Alley， takes readers on a spellbinding trip through treacherous terrain: Hollywood in the post-World War II years， where art， politics， scandal， style -- and brilliant craftsmanship -- produced a new approach to moviemaking， and a new type of cultural mythology。
