THE SHAPE OF NOIR TO COME
2016
Overview
When writing about a little-known silent film it is always a temptation to connect it to something with a bit more currency in the public imagination--people should be beyond this really. But some make no apology for connecting The Informer with film noir because there is something interesting, if not eerily prescient in looking at the film in that context. Here, Dixon examines the the 1929 film of Liam O'Flaherty The Informer which has all the ingredients of classic Hollywood noir--just a decade too early and an ocean away.
