Literally meaning \"Black Film\", the term was coined by French critics in the 1940s as the type of American crime films that highlight cynical leads, seedy underworld characters and a bleak, pessimistic view of humanity. Noir's protagonists were mostly men, consumed by their past and driven to repeat their mistakes, generally at the behest of a femme fatale who attempts to drive them to extortion, murder and ultimate ruin.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDisc Contents\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDISC 1 — THE NAKED KISS — 1964, 90 mins.\u003cbr\u003eConstance Towers stars as a prostitute who shows up in the town of Granville where she engages in a tryst with the local sheriff.
