Film Noir Compilation

A collection of clips taken from 8 American Noir Films, between the years 1941 to 1955. The clips chosen all focus on guns, for an overall look at the role of guns play in Film Noir.

Movies used:

The Maltese Falcon ('41)
Gilda ('46)
The Big Sleep ('46)
The Killers ('46)
Out of the Past ('47)
The Third Man ('49)
Gun Crazy ('49)
Kiss Me Deadly ('55)

This compilation is for a final project in my Film Noir class, and I plan to rotoscope all of these clips into a 3 minute animation as the surreal extension of guns in film noir.

That last clip, at 2:39 where the lady opens the box, it reminds me of Pulp Fiction where Vince opens the suitcase and its glowing.

Very cool compilation

Yup, Tarantino stole it from the 1955 film noir 'Kiss Me Deadly'

Great list, and great editing! However, I would argue (as many would) that "The Third Man" is a British film, not an American one.

Sure... But wouldn't a hitman not take the chances of hitting a vital spot near the groin area and instead double-cap somebody?

I mean, I understand noir movies couldn't show too much violence, but at least aim it at his heart, which is in fact a guaranteed kill most of the time.

@BLACKIESBOY Probably hit a vital point

I never understood how getting shot in the lower torso/groin area was a kill shot
