Abstract

The article analyses the two main sources of American ‘film noir’: the German cinema of the Weimar period (1919-1933) and American gangster film (1920-1930), pointing out the principal stylistic, thematic and conceptual techniques that influenced the forming of the ‘noir’ style in the American movies of the 1940-1950s.
