	Hardboiled - ArticleWorld
		The protagonists of 'hardboiled' novels are tough, much like a hard-boiled egg, and often embrace the seamy side of life.
		Although hardboiled detectives can be touched by a woman, in general their relationships are characterized by a game of flirting through giving offense and the certainty that when the case is over, so is the fling.
		Noir is sometimes used interchangeably with hardboiled, though purists such as essayist George Tuttle notes that the focus in noir is away from the solvers of the crime and their lobby manager and newspaper friends.

	Hardboiled - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		From its earliest days, hardboiled fiction was published in and closely associated with so-called pulp magazines, most famously Black Mask; later, many hardboiled novels were published by houses specializing in paperback originals, also colloquially known as "pulps." Consequently, "pulp fiction" is often used as a synonym for hardboiled crime fiction.
		Of latter-day hardboiled novelists who regularly feature detective protagonists, the most prominent to write in an unmistakably noir mode is James Ellroy.
		In terms of character, plot, and worldview, Patricia Highsmith would seem to be a quintessential writer of noir fiction—indeed, her work has been the source for numerous movies, both American and European, regarded as film noirs—but her style sets her apart: far from "lean" and "direct," it is characteristically dense and subtle.

	Bleeker Books - Making Up The Difference
		Hardboiled writing evolved from the marriage of classical detectives stories (featuring heroes such as Sherlock Holmes) and American heroic fiction, such as Westerns and the Nick Carter stories.
		In a hardboiled story, he's usually an outsider, coming in to resolve a situation that developed before he was on the scene.
		Hardboiled novels, and private eye novels in particular, are bound by certain rules: the good guy never kills except in self-defense, he doesn't lie unless he has too, he doesn't steal, etc. In noir, all bets are off.

	hard boiled - review at videovista
		These include the second half of the film becoming a mismatched buddy-movie, and the poignant manner in which both scenarios suggest that perhaps the hero and the villain are actually flip-sides of the same coin.
		The pitched battle at the climax of Hardboiled (with its daring act of putting a whole maternity ward full of babies at risk, one of which is splattered with blood) makes the despicably over-hyped Terminator 2: Judgment Day resemble the numbingly slow British soap Coronation Street.
		One aspect of Hardboiled that may surprise some is its measure of terse humour, though I hasten to add that witty remarks come in the form of idiosyncratic, Chinese gags and certainly not the empty wisecracks of many American screen heroes' nonsensical one-liners.

	NPR : Jonathan Ames' Personal Hardboiled Hero
		However you come down on that question, though, the Continental Op seems to be the model for most of the subsequent hardboiled literary shamuses: wry tough-talkers who size people up in a heartbeat, spare on biographical background or love interests.
		Indeed, I'm hard pressed to think of any effective living practitioners of the hardboiled genre; the last such that comes to mind is Ross Macdonald, who died I think in the late 1970s.
		It does seem that during the hardboiled age, which I'm estimating lasted roughly from about 1920 to 1960, people were more adult.
