Rooms Like Reveries

     
         Beautiful women with nothing to do, drifting restlessly around their homes are a common sight in  fifties Noir. They light cigarettes, stare into space, listen to the radio, visions of melancholy boredom.
                                          ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~              
      One of the best essays related to Noir that i have read for a while is Rooms Like Reveries written by Imogen Sara Smith and posted on Joan's Digest - A Film Quarterly. Highly recommended.
