list first, book second — 5 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.
