During the 1930s, Hollywood took notice of the public's rising interest in crime fiction and hardboiled detective novels that would later serve as the groundwork for the classic film noir genre. Long before detectives stalked rain-soaked streets and femme fatales entered smoky clubs on the silver screen, writers such as Raymond Chandler, Dashiell Hammett, and James M. Cain were creating fatalistic worlds in corrupt cities populated by cynical private eyes and desperate criminals, essentially defining the visual language and style of film noir.
