Lonelyhearts (1958) is a writer hero journalism and media emotional psychological romance and father-figure melodrama of maturing youth as it faces the existential fact of twentieth century living and surely noir influenced adaptation of the great Nathaniel West novella of nearly the same name and a great treat for those who would relish close ups of Robert Ryan and Montgomery Clift for 103 minutes.
Classic Film Noir exposes the myths by which we fulfil our desires and lays flat the means by which we created the audiovisual dispositif — sex — murder — and the suburban dream — 1940 to 1960 — FEATURING: amnesia, paranoid women, lousy husbands, red scare and HUAC, boxing, drifter narratives, crooked cops, home invasion noir, docu-style noir, returning veterans, #KEFAUVER! cowboy noir, vacuum cleaners in film noir, outré noir, espionage noir — and more.
