Description:
Eddie Muller – host of
TCM's Noir Alley, one of the world's leading authorities on film noir,
and cocktail connoisseur – takes film buffs and drinks enthusiasts alike on a
spirited tour through the "dark city" of film noir in this stylish
book packed with equal parts great cocktail recipes and noir lore.
Eddie Muller's Noir
Bar pairs carefully curated classic cocktails and modern noir-inspired
libations with behind-the-scenes anecdotes and insights on 50 film noir
favorites. Some of the cocktails are drawn directly from the films: If you've
seen In a Lonely Place and wondered what’s in a “Horse’s Neck” – now
you’ll know. If you’re watching Pickup on South Street you’ll find out
what its director, Sam Fuller, actually drank off-screen. Didn’t know that Nightmare
Alley’s Joan Blondell inspired a cocktail? It may become a new favorite.
Meanwhile, Rita Hayworth is toasted with a "Sailor Beware," an
original concoction which, like the film that inspired it (The Lady From
Shanghai), is unique, complex, and packs a wallop.
Featuring
dozens of movie stills, poster art, behind-the-scenes imagery, and stunning
cocktail photography, Noir Bar is both a stylish and exciting excursion
through classic cinema’s most popular genre.
