Descrição: Though much has been written about film noir, certain aspects of the “dark cinema” movement remain largely unexplored. This chapter discusses the role of writers in the creation of film noir. It focuses on the investigation of noir authorship on a macro level in order to discern broader trends, challenge some tenets of conventional wisdom, and provide recognition to an often unsung group of contributors to this distinctive group of films. The role of writers in film noir should not be overlooked simply because it is difficult to assign individual credit to a collaborative work. “Women's noirs” constitute a sub‐category of their own, typically featuring strong, sympathetic central female characters, thus contravening some of the noir tropes about femmes fatales, and representing the lion's share of women writer's contributions to film noir, otherwise a rather male‐dominated film style. The chapter concludes with a discussion on the blacklisted noir writers.
