Everyone loves a good mystery, and some of the best ones can be found in film noir classics such as Laura, Out of the Past, and Alfred Hitchcock's Strangers on a Train. Rooted in German Expressionism and popular pulp fiction crime novels, film noir is a term used to describe a film style that typically emphasizes cynical motivations and attitudes conveyed by a cast of intriguing characters.
The Killers is a highly marginalized detective noir partially based on the 1927 short story by Ernest Hemingway and features Lancaster in one of his first major lead roles, paired alongside the sultry Gardner who portrays the quintessential femme fatale. The film generates a low tone of suspense and while it isn't the most thrilling film noir, the performances by the overall cast plus a clever and complex plot make it a must-see for any fan of the genre.
The Third Man Approved Pulp novelist Holly Martins travels to shadowy, postwar Vienna, only to find himself investigating the mysterious death of an old friend, Harry Lime. Alfred Hitchcock's Strangers on a Train is a universally iconic detective noir based on the 1950 novel by the same name written by Patricia Highsmith. While Granger is the film's lead, Walker runs off with the picture as the psychopathic Anthony who is cheerfully sinister in his misdeeds, showing Granger's character no mercy and eventually putting him in the definition of a rock and a hard place.
Out of the Past is considered to be one of the greatest film noirs of all time and features a star-studded cast of characters who, overall, deliver showstopping performances. Mitchum and Greer are fabulous, but Douglas, who is known for his good guy, heroic roles, is a surprisingly convincing gangster who audiences love to hate.
