Film noir, a classic film style of the 40s and 50s, is noted for its dark themes, stark camera angles and high-contract lighting. Comprising many of Hollywood s finest films, film noir tells realistic stories about crime, mystery, femmes fatales and moral conflict.

June Mills (Alice Faye) and her sister Clara live a quiet life in a small coastal town until Eric Stanton (Dan Andrews), a smooth-talking con man, comes into their lives. He seems to fall heard for June, but Clara believes he s interested only in the family fortune. Meanwhile, sultry waitress Stella (Linda Darnell) catches Stanton s fancy and thinks he might be her ticket out of town. The local cop (Charles Bickford) knows more than he s telling about his fellow citizens and their tangles relationships, which draw even tighter after a shocking murder.
