Nicholas,

Do you know what Eddie Muller is showing on TCM’s Noir Alley next month? Would you believe Native Son (1950), based on Richard Wright’s novel? It has never been part of the Noir Canon, and is considered a bad movie on its own terms.

It’s the Bigger Thomas myth—black-on-White murder is caused by White racism.
