    The dark shadows and offscreen space that force us to imagine violence we cannot see. The real slaughter of animals spliced with the fictional killing of men. The missing countershot from the murder victim's point of view. Such images, or absent images, Karla Oeler contends, distill how the murder scene challenges and changes film. Reexamining works by such filmmakers as Renoir, Hitchcock, Kubrick, Jarmusch, and Eisenstein, Oeler traces the murder scene's intricate connections to the great breakthroughs in the theory and practice of montage and the formulation of the rules and syntax of Hollyw pt. 1.

    Why do we keep returning to Agatha Christie's ingenious puzzles and Raymond Chandler's hard-boiled murder mysteries? What do spy thrillers teach us, and what accounts for the renewed popularity of morally ambiguous noirs? In this book, the poet and critic David Lehman explores a wide variety of outstanding books and movies - some famous (The Maltese Falcon, Double Indemnity), some known mainly to aficionados - with style, wit, and passion.

    Introduction -- On the page. A "horrible lust for living blood" : supernatural female murderers in nineteenth-century literature -- A comparative reading of Mona Caird's The wing of Azrael (1889) and Thomas Hardy's Tess of the D'Urbervilles (1892) -- She hid it well : female serial killers in American hard-boiled detective fiction -- Speculative biographies : representing the lives of historical murdering women -- The murdering woman in a Chinese/Taiwanese cultural context -- The bodies of Lizzie Borden -- On the screen. Increasingly monstrous representation of real female killers in American cinema : I want to live! (Robert Wise, 1958) and Monster (Patty Jenkins, 2003) -- "Ki-ki-ki Ma-ma-ma" : maternal virtue and Mrs. Voorhees -- Women on death row : documentary film and the cultural politics of identity -- Lethal ladies : the stars of John Waters' Female trouble and Serial mom -- The birth of the female youth rampage shooter -- Women who kill : Law & order, Dexter & The wire -- On the stage. Killing a husband : Alice Arden and her accomplices on the early modern stage -- "There's so much I want to tell her" : Sophie Treadwell's Machinal and the transference of femininity -- Sheila's deposition, 1997 -- Another day in court : women playwrights -- The murdering mother in Marina Carr's plays. This collection examines the meaning, construction and deconstruction of the murdering woman. These essays suggest that the ways in which gender, race, class and sexuality play into representations of women murderers is key to understanding the patriarchal underpinnings of our judicial system as they apply to women criminals

Why do we keep going back to Agatha Christie's ingenious puzzles and Raymond Chandler's hard-boiled murder mysteries? What do spy thrillers teach us and what accounts for the renewed popularity of morally ambiguous noirs? In The Mysterious Romance of Murder, the poet and critic David Lehman explores a wide variety of outstanding books and movies—some famous (The Maltese Falcon, Double Indemnity), some known mainly to aficionados—with style, wit, and passion.Lehman revisits the smoke-filled jazz clubs from the classic noir films of the 1940s, the iconic set pieces that defined Hitchcock's America, the interwar intrigue of Eric Ambler's best fictions, and the intensity of attraction between Humphrey Bogart and Lauren Bacall, Robert Mitchum and Jane Greer, Cary Grant and Ingrid Bergman. He also considers the evocative elements of noir—cigarettes, cocktails, wisecracks, and jazz standards—and includes five original noir poems (including a pantoum inspired by the 1944 film, Laura) and ironic astrological profiles of Barbara Stanwyck, Marlene Dietrich, and Graham Greene. Written by a connoisseur with an uncanny feel for the language and mood of mystery, espionage, and noir, The Mysterious Romance of Murder will delight fans of the genre and newcomers alike
