Dear Oxfordians, would you supply me with a reference to any sociological survey or poll concerning the topic ‘Film Noir’? Preferably simple as ‘How many asked people do know what Film noir is? Do they have any suggestions?”. I need it for my academic paper as a just small reference (not big research). Thanks!
YAY I got 100%
Does anyone know the title of a Film that has a scene portraying what appears to be a burnt out room with water flowing down the wall and a stove on fire?
