Beginning in the mid-1940s, the bleak,
brooding mood of film noir began seeping
into that most optimistic of film genres, the
western. Story lines took on a darker tone and
western films adopted classic noir elements of moral
ambiguity, complex anti-heroes and explicit violence.
The noir western helped set the standard for the
darker science fiction, action and superhero films of
today, as well as for acclaimed TV series such as
HBO’s Deadtvood and AMC’s Breaking Bad. This
book covers the stylistic shift in westerns in
mid—20th century Hollywood, offering close
readings of the first noir westerns, along with
revealing portraits of the eccentric and talented
directors who brought the films to life.
