{"product_id":"9781892145307","title":"San Francisco Noir","description":"\u003cp\u003eAll cities have their secrets, but none are so dark as San Francisco's, the city that Ambrose Bierce famously described as \"a point upon a map of fog.\" With its reputation as a shadowy land of easy vice and hard virtue, San Francisco provided the ideal setting for many of the greatest films noir, from classics like \u003ci\u003eThe Maltese Falcon\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eDark Passage\u003c\/i\u003e to obscure treasures like \u003ci\u003eWoman on the Run\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eD.O.A.\u003c\/i\u003e, and neo-noirs like \u003ci\u003ePoint Blank\u003c\/i\u003e and\u003ci\u003e The Conversation\u003c\/i\u003e. Readers visit the Mission Dolores cemetery where James Stewart spied Kim Novak visiting Carlotta's grave in \u003ci\u003eVertigo\u003c\/i\u003e; the Steinhart Aquarium, where a steamy love scene unfolded between Orson Welles and Rita Hayworth in \u003ci\u003eThe Lady from Shanghai\u003c\/i\u003e; and the Kezar Stadium, where Clint Eastwood captures the serial killer, Scorpio, in a blaze of ghastly white light in \u003ci\u003eDirty Harry\u003c\/i\u003e. In this guide to the great films noir and the locations where they were shot, the mythic noir city meets San Francisco's own dark past.
