2. I am going to be explaining in detail
about the film noir, how it was
successful and a lot more.

3. Film noir is a cinematic term used primarily to describe stylish
Hollywood crime dramas, particularly those that emphasize cynical attitudes
and sexual motivations. Hollywood's classic film noir period is generally
regarded as extending from the early 1940s to the late 1950s. Film noir of this era is
associated with a low-key black-and-white visual style that has roots in German
Expressionist cinematography

5. The Motion Picture Production Code was the set of industry moral censorship
guidelines that governed
the production of the vast majority of United States motion pictures
released by major studios from 1930 to 1968.
It is also popularly known as the Hays Code,
after Hollywood's chief censor of the time, Will H. Hays.
The Motion Pictures Producers and Distributors Association (MPPDA), which later
became the Motion Picture Association of America (MPAA),
adopted the code in 1930,
began effectively enforcing it in 1934, and abandoned it in 1968,
in favour of the subsequent MPAA film rating system.
The Production Code spelled out what was acceptable
and what was unacceptable content for motion pictures produced for a
public audience in the United States.

6. The questions of what defines film noir and what sort of category it
is provoke continuing debate. "We'd be
oversimplifying things in calling film noir oneiric, strange, erotic, ambivalent, and cruel":
this set of attributes constitutes the first of many attempts to define film noir
made by French critics Raymond Borde and Etienne Chaumeton in their 1955
book Panorama du film noir American 1941–1953 (A Panorama of American Film Noir),
the original and seminal extended treatment of the subject. They emphasize that
not every film noir embodies all five attributes in equal measure - one might be
more dreamlike; another, particularly brutal.

7. The reason that my favourite film it double indemnity is because he film
Includes most of the rules in the hays code, which makes it better than
Any other types. The film was made by Billy Wilder who is an excellent
Director and has produced films like The Apartment which also was a
Successful film. The film included good actors like Barbara Stanwyck.
Overall the film was great .
