Film noir ("black film") was named by French film critics and refers to the dark or shadowed look and mood of an American film style influenced by German expressionism. Plots center on events that often occur at night, and the characters tend to be cynical and disillusioned, but usually likeable. The male protagonist faces a moral dilemma or threat and there is usually an alluring, sassy, dangerous woman. The dialog tends to be crisp and often witty.
These films evolved in the 1940s and lasted in a classic period until about 1960.

This category is for links to specific movie serials and sites with general information on the Serial genre or film style.
Serials were short adventure films that continued over several chapters or episodes in order to entice the audience back to the theater the next week. The serials came to be known as "cliffhangers" because the hero or heroine would face inescapable peril at the end of each episode only to be miraculously rescued at the beginning of the next one. This genre of film style started in the silent movie era, with the classic serials produced in the 1930s and 40s and ending in the 1950s.
