Para--

I watched "Girl Hunters" last night, wherein Mickey Spillane played Mike Hammer and his co-stars were Shirley Eaton and Lloyd Nolan.

Would you consider this Film Noir?

Thanks!

Tim

"The term Film Noir refers to a stylistic movement in films made from 1940 to 1959-

if a film does not fall within this time range, its not film noir, no matter the style or subject matter of the film. End of story."

1960's UK crime drama I'd say, btw Spillane was not much an actor (that's being kind).

I've not seen the entire film, just some of the parts that people laugh at over Spillane's acting. It's not film noir. It's pulp.
