There's noir and then there Noir. Today we discuss two films that are at the top of the list of "The Greats" – both featuring scorned women. One is an unflinching look at stardom, the cruelty of celebrity, the hell of being an aging actress and the clamor for fame. The other? Lust, money and an inconvenient husband has our lead actress portraying one of the baddest female baddies ever in a movie. Come with us on this journey while we discuss Sunset Boulevard (1950) and Double Indemnity (1944).
