If I'm going to pick one noir that you might not have seen, I'm going with "Fury" (1936), a proto-noir from Fritz Lang and starring Spencer Tracy, because it speaks to today's issues as well as of its own time.

Y es que pierde ese tono cómico y observas como el don que adquiere el grandísimo Claire Daines pasa a ser una maldición. Algo que destruye su matrimonio, su familia, su trabajo y hasta a él mismo. Incluso uno intuye la figura de una pseudo femme fatale en este corto proto-noir.

Alexis Alexiou: “Greek society continues to be deeply sexist”
The photographic representation of the area is shocking and revealing. An off-season beach resort, abandoned houses, shacks, streams, garbage, images that invade the psyche of the heroes and heroines of the new neo-noir his film Alexis Alexiou ("History 52", "Wednesday 04:45"), at the same time amazing shots like seascapes of Volanaki and the muffled motif of an iconic song from a distant proto-tourist Greece.

Another throwback! Two years ago today I posted abt "The Mystery of Woman," a rare Cornell Woolrich opinion piece from LADIES' HOME JOURNAL (July 1944), that solidified him as a feminist-leaning author for me. (If I ever collect my Woolrich reviews/essays, this will no doubt be the opener.) #noir

Right. Like, Black Canary is the last true major Golden Age character since she debuts in 1947 and is in the older traditions of noir/screwball-inspired characters, then Captain Comet/J'onn are proto-Silver Age/"Atomic Age" (1950s, sci-fi B-movie inspiration), then Barry kicks off the Silver Age.
