John-O, I agree with you Noir was not limited to one kind of story, crime & revenge, Hard-boiled characters
femme fatale's were just common in the genre, but as you know movies like "Sweet smell of success" & "Ace in the Hole"

fit the Noir template as well.

These were characters dramas that were not afraid to go to the darker places.
