Film noir is all about style, even more than it is about crime. The poster art from the noir era has a bold look and an iconography all its own, a sizzling marriage of of sex and violence, the sinuous figures of femme fatales appearing alongside the granite features of the era's tough guy stars. During noir's golden age, poverty-row studios commissioned these arresting illustrations for even the lowliest B' thriller. The more than 250 dazzling posters, lobby cards, and other promotional material range from familiar classics to rare archive films.'
