		As Muller's back cover blurb says, "film noir is all about style", and what is most immediately striking about this collection is the contrast between the style of the poster art and the style of the films it advertises.
		Muller's commentary brings out the specifically cinematic ingredients incorporated into these bold advertisements, grouping his pictures to foreground recurrent thematic and iconographic elements and to draw our attention to comparisons and lines of development.
		Eddie Muller features in a series of noir portraits - the photographs of Jim Ferreira, whose studio is located in the San Francisco Bay Area and who specialises in 'film noir portraiture'.

	Eddie Muller 2
		ALAN RODE: It is my distinct pleasure to welcome Eddie Muller to the Blackboard tonight to discuss his latest book, “The Art of Noir”.
		But Joan knew her eyes were her biggest feature, and I think the approach RKO took with that poster must have tickled her—even though you don’t see her face.
		I think Fast Eddie pretty much answered the question I’d have asked, which was "what was the worst noir poster for the best noir film?" However, I don’t think he answered the converse, the best noir poster for the worst noir film...so, if you get a chance, Eddie, please weigh in on that!

	UglyTown - Books - The Distance by Eddie Muller (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-18)
		"Eddie Muller has created a noir novel that is fresh and original and rich in nostalgia.
		Muller can hook you and take you the distance with the tension of his story, but his touches of atmosphere, such as a midnight ferry taking the fight crowd home across San Francisco Bay, are equally affecting and remain in the memory."
		Muller’s 1948 comes alive and kicking on every page of a tale that moves fast and punches hard.

		Muller’s candid recollections of an evening in Hollywood trying to keep tough guy Lawrence Tierney in tow is a beautiful piece of observation.
		Eddie has been responsible for seeking out and preserving many films that were in danger of being lost.
		Eddie is at the moment co-authoring the long awaited bio of Tab Hunter entitled “Tab Hunter Confidential” which will address the actor’s private life as well as his long career as one of Hollywood’s heartthrobs which will debut later this year.

	Eddie Muller's DVD commentaries superb - Pittsburgh Tribune-Review
		You're unlikely to find a more companionable DVD audio commentator than San Francisco-based Eddie Muller, 47, a novelist and author of several books on the movie genre film noir -- sometimes defined as crime films with dark psychological undercurrents.
		Muller knows his stuff and speaks with observational skills about movies he has spend decades examining.
		Muller may have several weeks or as few as three days to prepare a commentary for a company such as Fox Home Video or Warner Home Video.

		Incineration, writes Eddie Muller in The Art of Noir, was supposed to be the future of many of these posters, "destined for obsolescence" at the end of the theatrical run of films that had their own short insect life—two weeks sometimes.
		The French posters, "some of the most highly prized," were "almost buoyant," romantic, stylized, Muller writes, and sometimes didn't even resemble the film.
		But in Hollywood art, Muller writes, the women are shown "being slapped around." One does feel a little beat up by the end of the book.

	Bookreporter.com - THE ART OF NOIR by Eddie Muller
		In addition to their complex stories, the films came with their own set of advertising problems: how could they portray the inherent violence and sex in a manner that would draw an audience while, at the same time, fall within a level acceptable to the production code and censors.
		Eddie Muller, an expert in the genre, has compiled THE ART OF NOIR, a heavyweight (literally) compilation of scores of examples of this specialized work.
		As the Academy hands out the Oscars to films that might be recognized as classics for future generations of cinema fans, Muller's opus gives a knowing nod of appreciation to an important part of the industry's past.

	SHADES OF NOIR
		Not only has Muller written three passion-driven books on the cinema history of noir but for the past four years he has planned and hosted the Noir City Film Festival, unearthing long-lost classic films that explore the darkness of the human spirit, and introducing all-but-forgotten filmmakers and actors.
		Muller: "After 'Double Indemnity' won Oscars in 1945, every studio in town went into the mode of producing movies about bad people with bad motives.
		Muller has now established the Film Noir Foundation, designed "to prove to the studios that old noir is still viable in a new market.

		Eddie Muller scored impressively with "Dark City Dames," a study of the women of film noir with intimate portraits of such notables as Jane Greer, Marie Windsor and Ann Savage.
		Muller returns to a familiar theme here and achieves mightily in two respects, with glossy pictures which practically jump off the page at you, giving one a feel for time and place, as well as being a part of the scene, along with a text providing valuable information on the memorable films being showcased.
		San Franciscan Muller is one of the genuine authorities of the genre.

	Amazon.com: The Distance : A Crime Novel Introducing Billy Nichols: Books: Eddie Muller (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-18)
		Muller knows Frisco's boxing scene well, and takes us through seedy arenas and nightclubs as his narrator (and maybe the reader) get "lost in the circuit" of unsavory bookmakers, gamblers and politicians exploiting young men eager to be written up in Nichols's columns, excerpts of which are interspersed between chapters.
		Eddie Muller's THE DISTANCE is a wonderfully atmospheric noir tale of murder and passion set in colorful, corrupt, post-war San Francisco.
		Muller reproduces the jargon of the era with an expert ear.

	Noir City: First Annual San Francisco Film Noir Festival
		The San Francisco Film Society is pleased to be associated with author Eddie Muller's first San Francisco Film Noir Festival presented at the city's atmospheric Castro Theatre, Jan. 17-26, 2003.
		Muller and Castro Theatre programmer Anita Monga have unearthed several incredibly rare items, including Woman on the Run, Shakedown, The Raging Tide, and The Midnight Story providing what may be a once-in-a-lifetime chance for both film noir fans and local history aficionados to view vintage San Francisco through noir-tinted glasses.
		In its familiar geography of streets, hotels, penthouses and nightclubs, films such as Born to Kill and Thieves' Highway reveal a landscape of temptation and corruption that borders on the mythological.

		Five minutes with Eddie Muller, the Czar of Noir, and you realize how little you know compared to this guy.
		And he doesn't know it the way the stuffy sorts in academic lit and film studies know it (myself included), but rather he knows it the way a drunk knows booze -- more by feel and experience than knowledge alone.
		Muller knows why noir works, knows who's faking, and won't put up with any pretenders.

	Shadow Boxer : A Billy Nichols Novel by Eddie Muller, Search Cheap Books, Discount Books, ISBN 0743214447
		San Francisco boxing columnist Billy Nichols figured he'd covered all the angles and pinned the blame where it belonged for the pair of killings that lay at the racing heart of Eddie Muller's first noirish crime novel, The Distance.
		Nichols, shaped by both the newsroom and the sometimes larcenous sport he loves, is an appropriately flawed protagonist, engagingly employed by Muller, a film-noir authority (The Art of Noir) and the son of a renowned Bay Area boxing writer.
		Let me start by saying I didn't read the first Muller book, and since so much of that is backstory for the second (in which Claire's muder is "re-solved!") it might not be worth my time or money.

		``L.A. Confidential'' was competent film noir, but ask expert Eddie Muller and he'll tell you the best example of the genre today is television's ``The X-Files.''
		``I watch that show and I laugh, because in film noir it was the idea that the city was going to go corrupt and little by little it's like a cancer that spread,'' says Muller.
