In this revised and expanded edition of his essential volume Dark City Dames, Eddie Muller—Turner Classic Movies host and author of Dark Cityand Noir Bar—offers a uniquely intimate look at the women who defined film noir, now featuring updated text, photos, and 10 new star profiles.
 
Film noir was the dark side of the movies’ happily-ever-after mythology. Sinister and sexy, it forged a new icon: the tough, independent dame. Determined, desirable, dangerous when cornered, she could handle trouble—or deal out some of her own. If you thought these women were something special onscreen, wait until you meet the genuine articles. In Dark City Dames, acclaimed film historian Eddie Muller takes readers into the world of six women who made a lasting impression in this cinematic terrain—from veteran “bad girls” Audrey Totter, Marie Windsor, and Jane Greer to unexpected genre fixtures Evelyn Keyes, Coleen Gray, and Ann Savage.

The book provides in-depth profiles of these formidable women during the height of their careers, circa 1950, as they balanced love and career, struggled against typecasting, and sought fulfillment in a ruthless business. Their personal stories—teeming with larger-than-life characters like Howard Hughes, Louis B. Mayer, Robert Mitchum, Otto Preminger, and John Huston—offer a fascinating counterpoint to their movies. Then Dark City Dames revisits each woman fifty years later, to witness their hard-won—and triumphant—survival. On every page their own voices ring through, reflecting on their lives with as much passion, pain, intelligence, energy, and humor as any movie script.

Muller conducted far-ranging interviews with the original six women profiled in Dark City Dames, in the process becoming a friend and confidante to each. In this revised and expanded edition, he updates their stories and shares illuminating, never-before-told memories of his time with them. This edition also includes compelling new profiles of ten additional women who left an indelible mark on film noir, including Joan Bennett, Gail Russell, Rhonda Fleming, and Claire Trevor—all packaged in a stunning redesign that offers the ultimate look at performers who helped define a still-resonant and inspiring epoch of Hollywood history.

Dark City Dames By Eddie Muller, Read by Natalie Naudus and Eddie Muller (Audiobook Excerpt)

In this episode, we meet Giliola Belli, the pedagogical leader for Early Childhood Education in the municipal organisation of Bassa Reggiana, Reggio Emilia, Italy. Over the past 20 years, the organisation has developed an impressive network of collaborative projects with several countries, mainly in Europe—such as Germany, England, Iceland, Spain, and Sweden—often funded by the European Union.

Since 2008, the pedagogical leaders in Bassa Reggiana have been involved in an educational collaboration with both the Academy of Music and Drama and the HDK-Valand. This collaboration supports the education of students training to become pedagogical and cultural leaders in preschools and schools. Within this context, art, aesthetics, and culture have played a central role in the educational approach.

The focus of this conversation is the importance of democratic processes in education, both with young children and in the leadership of teachers. Belli refers to the pedagogical philosopher Loris Malaguzzi, who stated that “education is politics”, meaning that education cannot be neutral or separated from its social and cultural context. This perspective implies that every educational decision has a political impact, as it influences society and promotes the rights and opportunities of children.

Malaguzzi believed that involving the community and fostering democratic dialogue is essential to making the school a place of active participation. Children’s rights include respecting their dignity, autonomy, and voice. The right to express individuality should not be confused with individualism. Rights belong to everyone and are also about taking responsibility for one another and valuing diverse perspectives within a democratic society.


DETTA AVSNITT ÄR PÅ ENGELSKA

I detta avsnitt möter vi den pedagogiska ledaren Giliola Belli, som har arbetat med utveckling av kommunala förskolor och skolor i Bassa Reggiana i Reggio Emilia, Italien. Organisationen har under de senaste 20 åren byggt upp ett imponerande nätverk av samarbetsprojekt med flera europeiska länder, såsom Tyskland, England, Island, Spanien och Sverige – ofta med finansiering från EU.

Sedan 2008 deltar de pedagogiska ledarna i Bassa Reggiana i ett utbildningssamarbete med både Högskolan för scen och musik samt HDK-Valand. De har varit delaktiga i utbildningen av studenter till pedagogiska och kulturpedagogiska ledare inom förskola och skola. Konst, estetik och kultur har här varit centrala inslag i utbildningen.

Fokus i samtalet ligger på vikten av demokratiska processer i utbildningen av yngre barn, men också i lärarens ledarskap. Belli hänvisar till den pedagogiska filosofen Loris Malaguzzi, som menade att utbildning är politik. Det innebär att utbildning aldrig kan vara neutral eller frikopplad från sitt sociala och kulturella sammanhang. Denna vision innebär att varje utbildningsval har politisk betydelse, eftersom det påverkar samhället och bidrar till att främja barns rättigheter och möjligheter.

Malaguzzi ansåg att det är avgörande att involvera samhället i arbetet för en demokratisk dialog – och att skolan därigenom blir en plats för aktivt deltagande. Barns rättigheter handlar om att visa respekt för deras värdighet och autonomi, samt att uppmärksamma deras egna röster. Rätten att uttrycka sin individualitet får dock inte förväxlas med individualism. Rättigheter tillhör alla, och handlar också om ansvarstagande för varandra och för allas perspektiv i en demokrati.

A Place to Call Home is a podcast that explores the stories of Gainesville Health & Fitness employees and Gainesville locals who have chosen to make Gainesville their home. Each episode features a new guest who shares their personal connection to Gainesville, from what drew them to the area to what makes it truly feel like home. 

In addition to hearing from Gainesville residents, we will also be talking to experts on topics such as local history, major events, and community building. We want to provide our listeners with a comprehensive look at what makes life in “The Swamp” special and why Gainesville is much more than just a college town. 

Inspired by the titular GHF short documentary that told the story of what inspired Gainesville Health & Fitness owner, Joe Ciruli, to take root in Gainesville, A Place to Call Home seeks to strengthen the communal bond of Gainesville beyond the walls of Gainesville Health & Fitness through the power of storytelling.
