Underrated Film Noir Gems – The Chronicle Film Podcast Episode 52

The first day of December brings another new episode of The Chronicle Film Podcast, and this week Paul Devine and Nick Barrett dive deep into the shadowy world of Film Noir.

After a short break, we’re back with a special episode dedicated to exploring what truly defines film noir. From its moody lighting and morally ambiguous characters to its themes of cynicism, fatalism and existential dread, noir remains one of cinema’s most distinctive styles. Popularised in American crime films throughout the 1940s and 1950s, it continues to influence filmmakers today.

While titles such as Double Indemnity, Touch of Evil, Laura and The Third Man are widely regarded as the genre’s classics, Paul and Nick turn their attention to some of noir’s most underrated and underappreciated gems. In this episode, they spotlight:

-The Asphalt Jungle
-Criss Cross
-The Prowler
-The Breaking Point
Join us as we revisit these moody masterpieces, discuss why they deserve more recognition, and celebrate the enduring legacy of Film Noir.
