Summary: "Crime Scenes - Movie Poster Art of the Film Noir is the first book to trace the development and history of this intriguing movement by employing original movie poster art from over 100 vintage film noirs from the classic period of 1941 to 1959 including: The Maltese Falcon with Humphrey Bogart and Mary Astor, This Gun for Hire with Alan Ladd and Veronica Lake, Laura with Gene Tierney and Dana Andrews, and The Postman Always Rings Twice with Lana Turner and John Garfield. Originally displayed in movie theatres, these rare, ravishing and valuable posters and lobby cards also illustrate the signature in-house movie poster styles and printing processes utilized by the major studios and leading independents of the day. Academy Award-winning producer and director Robert Wise recalls his experiences as the RKO Radio Pictures contract director of such film noirs as Born to Kill (1947) and The Set Up (1949) in an informative foreword interview." - BOOK BLURB

Summary: Author Kristin Thompson analyses the narrative workings of television and film, looking at the narrative techniques the two media share. Thomson then focuses on the specific challenges that series television presents and the tactics writers have devised to meet them – tactics that sustain interest and maintain sense across multiple plots and subplots and in spite of frequent interruptions as well as weeklong and seasonal breaks.
