In \u003ci\u003eKiss the Blood Off My Hands: On Classic Film Noir\u003c\/i\u003e, Robert Miklitsch curates a bold collection of essays that reassesses the genre's iconic style, history, and themes. Contributors analyze the oft-overlooked female detective and little-examined aspects of filmmaking like love songs and radio aesthetics, discuss the significance of the producer and women's pulp fiction, and investigate topics as disparate as Disney noir and the Fifties heist film, B-movie back projection and blacklisted British directors. At the same time the writers' collective reconsideration shows the impact of race and gender, history and sexuality, technology and transnationality on the genre.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e As bracing as a stiff drink, \u003ci\u003eKiss the Blood Off My Hands\u003c\/i\u003e writes the future of noir scholarship in lipstick and chalk lines for film fans and scholars alike.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Contributors: Krin Gabbard, Philippa Gates, Julie Grossman, Robert Miklitsch, Robert Murphy, Mark Osteen, Vivian Sobchack, Andrew Spicer, J.
