Factual errors: About half-way into "part two" there is a title-card that reads "Jeffrey Wells, A Critics Commentary" (sic). It should read like this: "Jeffrey Wells: A Critic's Commentary", with an apostrophe to show the possessive form. moreFAQ

This overview of film noir is somewhat comical, it's so poorly done.Whoever put together this dvd was apparently a novice in dvd technology. You can see
though that this was a labor of love, and in that regard, it's worth watching. I would advise skipping the main feature and going straight to the special
features. I thought the commentary section with Jeffrey Myers was quite good.
