Having
said that, I should point out that there's a Victorian/Edwardian
subgenre that could be called gothic noir. For example:
Gaslight
(Thorold Dickinson) - 1940 / (George Cukor) - 1944
Experiment Perilous (Jacques Tourneur) - 1944
Hangover Square (John Brahm) - 1945
The Strange Woman (Edgar G. Ulmer) - 1946
So Long at the Fair (Terence Fisher) - 1950
The Portrait of a Lady (Jane Campion) - 1996 |
