However, this isn't the first time this season Homicide has
done noir.
There was an earlier episode written by David Simon (who
wrote the book
the series is based on) which was an homage/spoof of noir
movies,
complete with slinky femme fatale. It wasn't in keeping with
the show's
normal "realistic" tone, but it was kind of fun.
Also, I, for one, am thankful for the note about City of
Angels. I
remember that short-lived series very fondly. If my memory is
correct,
it was created by Something Glen Caron of later Moonlighting
fame and
starred Wayne Rogers. It was set in the 1930s and is full of
Chandler
references and touches.
