    Look forward Volker to another golden age review this time the new Kritzerland release called "Preminger at Fox." Part of the review will involve a discussion of film noir.

    That's an interesting discussion, since film noir is often mistaken for a GENRE while it is -- in actuality -- a STYLE.

    Can't a style define a genre?

    (I have a feeling that we may have discussed this already?)

    Not really, if you follow film theory on the topic. It can be PART of a genre, but cannot define it in itself. A crucial element of a genre is its semantic components.

  1. "Semantic components"?

    Lighting isn't really a 'semantic component', as it were, but yeah -- definitely a crucial stylistic trait of film noir.

    I just received from Naxos a recording of his cabaret songs. It is more than interesting it adds to the complete works of Waxman that I seem to have

    Pretty cool set from Intrada, for my favourite Golden Age composer:

    Worried about the sound quality (as I always prefer rerecordings than crackly old material this age), but the selections are intriguing. Some of them, I already have bits and pieces of.
