In all 5 Film Noir films I have noticed a common thing of death throughout, whether it is natural, an accident or even murder. In some of the films the relationships between the men and women is vital to show passion between the two genders and throughout the films, the passion between the men and women is normally the cause or reason for the death that occurs. Mostly all of Film Noir films are set in america, but as "The Third Man" shows some can be set in Europe which can be different to the stereotypical america set. All the films are based on detective work or investigation work, this makes it interesting to find out what has happened once you find the cause of the detectives working.
