Although Mr. Guthrie is far too humble to draw notice to his
list of his favourite noirs, here is the link to his Top 200
on his website:
http://www.allanguthrie.co.uk/Nov07/200%20Noirs.htm
They are broken down chronologically and there's quite a few
I have never heard of but will now hunt down to read based on
his recommendation.
Side note on one of the noirs mentioned in the list:
While watching "The Bad and the Beautiful" the other night on
TCM, I noticed that during a scene in which Lana Turner is
standing near a paperback stand, you can clearly see the
cover of David Goodis's
"Cassidy's Girl" amongst the titles.
Back to lurking...
