For anyone who is interested, here is a link to where you can purchase it, and here is the basic description:

Four women, found dead in the woods: a crimson smile, drawn on their faces.

A special agent is sent in and mortally wounded. His partner follows undercover as a journalist.

A Native American town is enveloped by an annular eclipse and an ancient myth.

Agents of Secret organizations take part in a shocking betrayal.

A search for redemption is combated against a fight to win back a long-lost love.

Artificial intelligence and genomic editing blur the lines.

And at the center of it all, The Crimson Vial.

The character in the novel Dick Gumshoe can be seen as a direct representation of the hardboiled/noir detective, whereas special agent David White is a modern interpretation of the private eye.

This site has free, legal movies . You can also find some in the Internet Archive if you search for noir and filter the results for films. If you're interested, there are noir books for free as well. I borrowed Laura last night :)

Here are a few things to check out: Twin Peaks soundtrack, LA Noire soundtrack, Lost Highway soundtrack, Elmer Bernstein, Warren Barker Orchestra, music from M Squad, a film noir compilation album from 2012, and Ultra Lounge volume 7- The Crime Scene.

All very good. I had a playlist with these that I'd listen to while studying criminology in college.

You should check out Chandler collections like Killer in the Rain or Trouble is my Business. Or, this collection appears to contain all the shorts:

Thanks! I'll keep looking around online in the meantime.

I think my favorite medium for those stories is audio recordings, but a lot of old time radio programs have sound quality problems. Some have been cleaned up a little digitally though:

This is great. Boothe must have been chosen based on his capacity to sound like a down-home version of Gerald Mohr's Philip Marlowe from the CBS radio series. If only I could get over expecting him to say "You even blew my boy's nuts and his pecker off." Great find!

Didn't he also have some weird religious awakening that sobered him up? There's a recording of a conversation between Raymond Chandler and Ian Fleming, in it one of them mentions in passing that we've lost Micky Spillane to some church.

Depending on the context - how closely the prop will be viewed and handled, you could even go with a squirt gun if you want or need to do it on the cheap. Fill it with sand or something for weight, seal it up, and paint it shiny black. Dillinger supposedly escaped from jail one time by carving a fake gun out of soap and blackening it with shoe polish.

This cap gun on eBay is a little high-priced when you add in shipping, but could easily be converted to something semi realistic. I'm not a lawyer, but I really don't think that it would be illegal to doctor one up to look less fake. That's a condition for selling them.

Here are a bunch of others on eBay, but be careful because some of them are little key chain miniatures. For that matter almost all of them will be scaled to fit a child's hand.

Good luck.

I use mubi.com and it has a lot of genres but I have seen some film noir. They also have lots of unconventional films but the only "problem" is they're available to watch just for 30 days. The good thing is they upload a new film everyday.

Isn’t Ingmar Bergman Swedish? He’s available in English subtitles. I don’t know if that’s bothersome.

I liked Fanny and Alexander

Also My Life As a Dog.

Girl With the Dragon Tattoo

And although it’s Danish, Babette’s Feast which is a favorite of mine because there’s joy in it.

Seventh Seal by Ingmar Bergman is another of my favorites.

I hope this is helpful. You are correct, there are few Swedish films. I think the internationally popular movies get the first class treatment. Don’t give up though. The search is part of the pleasure.

True detective is a reminder of how much people love the Noir genre. I also love that it's an anthology series. You get a beginning, a middle, and an end and don't have to watch the characters become caricatures and the story become tired.

Whenever I see the apex of Noir like True Detective, I'm reminded why I wanted to make The Dirty Kind in the first place. If you have a chance and are into the genre, check out The Dirty Kind on DVD or Amazon Prime here - https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07R6YGSR6

Thought in my head were spinning like snowflakes of storm coming.
Case was pending a bit longer than forever. The guy was as lucky as violent, bodies were found all around the town. Every clue we found led to dead end, he was fooling us...

New York Noir is a field captured world of winter New York (360 sphere panoramas). Detective story plot blend together with elements of horror, hidden objects and intellectual quest.
The inspiration comes for Max Payne, Seven, Naked City, and so many other noir genre games and films.
Let us be brief, and let you make a judgment we are seeking.

"Tales From the Dark Snow" by Brendan Dubois is influenced by Quarry. http://www.amazon.com/Tales-Dark-Snow-Brendan-DuBois-ebook/dp/B0055IH938

Read the Nate Heller novels by Max Allan Collins, too. They're about a PI, not a hitman, but they are similar in tone.

Anything by Max is great, actually. Even better, his books are cheap on Kindle.
