Kozloff Sara. Overhearing Film Dialogue
Publisher: University of Califoia Press, 2000. 332 pages. Language: English.

Through informative discussions of dozens of classic and contemporary films — from Bringing Up Baby to Terms of Endearment, from Stagecoach to Reservoir Dogs — this lively book provides the first full-length study of the use of dialogue in American film.
Sarah Kozloff shows why dialogue has been neglected in the analysis of narrative film and uncovers the essential contributions dialogue makes to a film's development and impact. She uses narrative theory and drama theory to analyze the functions that dialogue typically serves in a film.
The second part of the book is a comprehensive discussion of the role and nature of dialogue in four film genres: westes, screwball comedies, gangster films, and melodramas. Focusing on topics such as class and ethnic dialects, censorship, and the effect of dramatic irony, Kozloff provides an illuminating new perspective on film genres.

Scarecrow Press, 2010. - 473 pp. Film noir literally "black cinema" is the label customarily given to a group of black and white American films, mostly crime thrillers, made between 1940 and 1959.

These problems are partly caused because film noir is a retrospective label that was not use...
