list first, book second — 3 years ago

I started to read this book, hoping to compile a “To Watch” list of film noir movies set in San Francisco. Unfortunately for my purposes, it gives plot summaries of each of the movies—real spoilers! Although slim, it is packed with information about the movies and their connection with the city. It makes a thorough reference book, but not good reading for someone who hasn’t watched, but wants to watch, the movies discussed.

This is a list of the movies discussed in the book. My plan is to read the corresponding chapter only after I see the movie.
