Nonfiction Views: Dark City Dames, by TCM host Eddie Muller, plus the week's notable new nonfiction [1]
['This Content Is Not Subject To Review Daily Kos Staff Prior To Publication.']
Date: 2025-06-24
Good evening, everyone. With the unrelenting flood of bad news spilling from the Trump administration, perhaps a review of a nice escapist book about movies could provide a bit of relief. The book in this case is Dark City Dames: The Women Who Defined Film Noir, by Eddie Muller, host of the Saturday night Noir Alley movie presentations on Turner Classic Movies.
Or maybe not. This is Film Noir we’re talking about, steeped in cynicism, greed, dishonesty, corrupt motives and morally corrupt characters, often suffused with a feeling of dread, anxiety, and doom. In short, movies which pretty much describes the Trump administration and our experience of living under it. One difference is that in the heyday of film noir in the 1940s and 1950s, the Hays Production Code dictated that by the end of the movie, those who had committed crimes should be punished for their actions. Nowadays, it seems the political and corporate miscreants get off scot-free for their corruption.
Not only that, but many of the actors and actresses profiled in this book get tangled up in the Red Scare, their careers derailed by Senator Joseph McCarthy and his House Un-American Activities Committee. There are too many echoes of that 1950s career-destroying witch hunt in the actions of the Trump Administration today.
So, maybe this review won’t be very escapist after all, but I hope it will be entertaining. The book

focuses on the ‘bad girls’ of Film Noir, femme fatales who are as likely to kill you as to love you. Of course, that ‘bad girls’ designation is faulty; these were in large part strong women cannily navigating their way through treacherous and morally ambiguous situations.
(I’ll be throwing in a few stills of modern Film Noir Dames, from ‘movies’ I’ll bet even Eddie Muller hasn’t heard of.)
If you have ever watched Noir Alley on Turner Classic Movies, you know that Eddie Muller is an engaging host, offering incredibly detailed backstories of the evening’s film presentation, delivered in an entertaining raconteur style. His book is true reflection of his on-screen persona. This book is actually an updated version of the original, published in 2001, now

with over twice as many actors profiled. In many cases, he was friends with the actresses and gleaned a wealth of personal details from both interviews and acquaintanceship.
Every profile is rich with not only great stories about the making of these movies, but also so much loving humanity. Muller clearly feels great compassion for his subjects, celebrating their triumphs and commiserating with their obstacles. The profile of Jane Greer which opens the book is a perfect example
The chapter opens with Greer bouncing along in a Mexico City taxi, trying to keep slight swelling of her pregnancy from being noticed by her costar Bill Bendix. She was terrified that if word got out, RKO Studio head Howard Hughes would yank her from the film The Big Steal, which she hoped would be a career-changer by reuniting her with Robert Mitchum, with whom she had made a successful good-chemistry pairing in an earlier film, Out of the Past.
She had a mixed history with Hughes:
She’d started out as one of “Howard’s Girls,” the endless string of nubile women Hughes kept under personal contract. He courted some, made starts of others, and let many lie fallow—albeit luxuriously—in their unfulfilled aspirations. Jane had slipped that collar once, as a fresh-faced ingenue who didn’t know better than to challenge the richest man in America. But she hadn’t escaped entirely. There was murky water, a river of it, under that bridge.
Once, when Hughes found out that Greer was dating the singer Rudi Vallee, he ordered her to stop”

Don’t see him. I don’t like Rudy Vallee, and he doesn’t like me. Goodbye.” Greer pushed back, and indeed, ultimately married the middle-aged singer, though she was still only in her teens. Vallee’s controlling and licentious nature was a nightmare for her, and the marriage didn’t last long, but one more lasting consequence was Vallee urging her to sue Howard Hughes for effective breach of contract, as he had not been offering her roles.
Still, even that wouldn’t completely derail her career with Hughes. The two became lovers at one point, and her movie roles fluctuated, with Hughes often refusing to give her roles. He had given her the role in this new film with Mitchum only because he was forced to: a marijuana arrest of Mitchum had thrown the production into turmoil, and other leading lady candidates had dropped out.
And as for that pregnancy, Hughes already knew about it when he cast her.
Hughes network of moles included nurses at hospitals and clinics all around town; they kept tabs on all his contracted players, updating him regularly on their maladies, addictions, and conditions. Hughes had gotten confirmation that Jane was pregnant while she was still waiting for word. “Howard was a very strange man,” Jane understates.

That’s one of the pleasures of this book about the femme fatales of film noir. Throughout the book, it is the real-life men who most often exhibit humanity’s worst traits. Howard Hughes makes plenty of appearances. (When nixing Joan Blondell for a part in The Set-up, Hughes complained that she looked like “she’d been shot out of the wrong end of a cannon.” Director Sydney Lanfield screamed at Jane Greer in front of the cast during the shooting of Station West “I could go down to Hollywood Boulevard and find ten girls off the street who are better actresses than you!” Joe McCarthy and his House Un-American Activities Committee makes numerous appearances. There are a lot of bad marriages to violent, abusive, controlling husbands.
But the real pleasure is reading about these actresses in their bad girl roles.
Ann Savage in Detour:
“Shut Up!” Ann keens at her costar at one point, freezing his testosterone. ”You’re making noises like a husband!” In her scenes with [Tom] Neal, Ann veers between sexually aggressive, pitifully maudlin, sloppily drunk, and scarily vindictive….The palpable erotic tension between the leads drove [director Edgar G] Ulmer’s concept even deeper, even darker. And somehow, between the caterwauling, Ann rendered—in the scant seconds available—sympathetic touches that exposed [her character] Vera’s scarred heart.
Audrey Totter:
“Most of the bad girls I played had a reason for being the way they were,” Audrey explains. “That’s what I always focused on, to bring some dimension to the character. Sort of the ‘nobody is all bad’ idea. Except, of course, the one I played in Tension—she was a bitch, plain and simple.” Audrey’s character was a vile voluptuary—sin incarnate. Married to a milquetoast pharmacist (Richard Basehart), she’ll sleep with any guy willing to drape her in furs and put her behind the wheel of a flashy car. She taunts her cuckolded mate until he snaps and vows to murder his rival—but she ends up beating her husband to it. Then she coerces him into giving her an alibi. “What’s the matter with you, anyway? she snarls at her simpering spouse. “You want the cops to move in here and live with us? If you haven’t got enough brains to agree with me, then keep your mouth shut. From here on in, I’m answering all the questions—got it?”
Claire Trevor:

“I was typecast,” she told me during several conversations we shared in 1998. “I would have liked to have played ‘real’ characters. I was playing women I’d never known in my life. I had to conjure them into something real. But my so-called ‘bad girls’ were interesting in that they were unpredictable.” That’s certainly true of her most memorable “bad girl,” deviant socialite Helen Brent in RKO’s Born to Kill (1947). Originally, and more aptly, titled Deadlier Than the Male, it is the most depraved film of its era; Trevor portrays a schemer who connives her way into an affluent San Francisco family, shedding every bit of decency and morality as she lusts after a cold-blooded killer (Lawrence Tierney.) Their heavy-breathing grappling in a darkened kitchen has feral intensity, as lurid as anything yet put on screen. “I’ve heard it was panned at the time because the people in it are so ugly and vicious and evil,” she said, laughing. “I thought it was an interesting picture—another example of where I had to play a character unlike anyone I’d ever met. I had to imagine a lot to do that one.”
This book is incredibly rich. For example, you’ll learn about the protest against the House Unamerican Activities Committee arranged by John Huston, William Wyler and Dominick Dunne. The plane they chartered to travel to Washington DC was filled with stars:
Had that chartered plane dropped an engine, Hollywood history would have been rewritten. On board were Huston and Keyes, Humphrey Bogart and Lauren Bacall, Paulette Goddard and Burgess Meredith, Gene Kelly and Betsy Blair, Katherine Hepburn, Billy Wilder, Ira Gershwin, John Garfield, Myrna Loy, Richard Conte, Joseph Cotten, June Havoc, Edward G. Robinson, Charles Boyer, Sterling Hayden, Van Heflin, Lucille Ball, Kirk Douglas, Gregory Peck, Paul Heinreid, Eddie Cantor, Jane Wyatt, Fredric March, Melvyn Douglas,, Danny Kaye, and Henry Fonda.
As in his hosting of Noir Alley on Turner Classic Movies, Eddie Muller shows his deep love and knowledge of this film genre and of Hollywood in general. His heartfelt appreciation of the actresses is apparent on every page. It is a book I think you will enjoy. (And his Eddie Muller's Noir Bar: Cocktails Inspired by the World of Film Noir is also fun to curl up with, cocktails and plenty more film lore.
Now, it’s on to this week’s notable new nonfiction below. We’ll see you again in Nonfiction Views next week. Until then...see you in the bookstacks.
THIS WEEK’S NOTABLE NEW NONFICTION

Why should food be any different? For nearly twenty years, Michael Shaikh’s job was investigating human rights abuses in conflict zones. Early on, he noticed how war not only changed the lives of victims and their societies, it also unexpectedly changed the way they ate, forcing people to alter their recipes or even stop cooking altogether, threatening the very survival of ancient dishes.
A groundbreaking combination of travel writing, memoir, and cookbook, The Last Sweet Bite uncovers how humanity’s appetite for violence shapes what’s on our plate. Animated by touching personal interviews, original reporting, and extraordinary recipes from modern-day conflict zones across the globe, Shaikh reveals the stories of how genocide, occupation, and civil war can disappear treasured recipes, but also introduces us to the extraordinary yet overlooked home cooks and human rights activists trying to save them.

It's Only Drowning: A True Story of Learning to Surf and the Search for Common Ground, by David Litt . David, a former Obama speechwriter and Yale-educated writer with a fear of sharks, and Matt, his tattooed, truck-driving Joe Rogan superfan brother-in-law with a shed full of surfboards, had never been close. But as America’s crises piled up and David spiraled into existential dread, he noticed that his brother-in-law was thriving. He began to suspect Matt’s favorite hobby had something to do with it.
David started taking surf lessons. For months, he wiped out on waves the height of daffodils. Yet, after realizing that surfing could change him both in and out of the water, he set an audacious goal: riding a big wave in Hawaii. He searched for an expert he could trust to guide and protect him—and when he couldn’t find one, he asked Matt. Together, they set out on a journey that spanned coasts, and even continents, before taking them to Oahu’s famously dangerous North Shore.
It’s Only Drowning is a laugh-out-loud love letter to surfing—and so much more. It’s an ode to embarking on adventures at any age. It’s a blueprint for becoming braver at a time when it takes courage just to read the news. Most of all, it’s the story of an unlikely friendship, one that crosses the fault lines of education, ideology, and culture tearing so many of us apart.

Access: Inside the Abortion Underground and the Sixty-Year Battle for Reproductive Freedom, by Rebecca Grant . In this definitive, eye-opening history, award-winning author Rebecca Grant charts the reproductive freedom movement from the days before Roe through the seismic impact of Dobbs. The stories in Access span four continents, tracing strategies across generations and borders. Grant centers those activists who have been engaged in direct action to help people get the abortions they need. Their efforts involve no small measure of daring-do, spy craft, sea adventures, close calls, undercover operations, smuggling, sequins, legal dramas, victories, defeats, and above all, a deeply held conviction that all the risks are worth it for the cause.
In Access, we meet a cast of brave, bold, and unforgettable women: the founders of the Jane Collective, a group of anonymous providers working clandestinely between Chicago apartments to perform abortions in the pre-Roe years; the originators and leaders of the abortion fund movement; Verónica Cruz Sánchez, a Mexican activist who works to support self-managed abortion with pills and fights to free women targeted by the criminalization of abortion; and Rebecca Gomperts, a Dutch doctor who realizes that there is one place abortion bans cannot reach: international waters.
Post-Dobbs, activist groups have once again stepped up and put themselves on the line to resist. Building on the work of their feminist forebearers and international allies, they are charting new pathways for access in the face of unprecedented acts to subjugate and control half of America’s population.

Agents of Change: The Women Who Transformed the CIA, by Christina Hillsberg . The timely and revelatory exploration of the pioneering women who changed the insulated world of international espionage—from the barrier-crashing challenges of the 1960s to the present-day reckoning—told through the eyes of a former intelligence operative herself. Through exclusive interviews with current and former female CIA officers, many of whom have never spoken publicly, Agents of Change tells an enthralling and, at times, disturbing story set against the backdrop of the evolving women’s movement. It was in the 1960s, a “secretarial” era, when women first gained a foothold and pushed against the one-dimensional, pop-culture trope of the sexy Cold War Bond Girl. Underestimated but undaunted, they fought their way, decade by decade, through adversity to the top of the spy game. “This immensely readable book tells the nearly lost stories of everyday women who dared to enter the man’s world of the CIA and do extraordinary things. … I wish I had read Christina’s book prior to my CIA career, as it would have assisted immeasurably with my understanding of that complicated world I was entering as a young woman. I’m thankful it’s finally here.” —Valerie Plame, New York Times bestselling author of Fair Game and former CIA operations officer

The electronic age compels us to confront the delicate balance between the convenience of constant connectivity and the protection of personal privacy, security, and democracy itself. Presented as a two-fold concern of digital and civic literacy, surveillance and privacy expert Heidi Boghosian argues that our fight to uphold democracy must extend to the online world. As “smart” citizens, our best chance of thriving in the digital era lies in taking care of our “smart” selves as diligently as we maintain our smart devices. In the same way that smart devices can disclose private information when not adequately secured, our online presence can lead to unintentional data exposure or identity theft. That entails a commitment to learning digital literacy and cyber hygiene from the first moment we engage with technology. Mastering the fundamentals of civics—the rights and responsibilities of citizens—rounds out the democratic assignment. With AI and machine learning poised to play a transformative role in our 21st century lives, we, as humans, have our own generative learning journey to master.
How I Found Myself in the Midwest: A Memoir of Reinvention, by Steve Grove . Just after turning forty, Steve Grove left Silicon Valley as a Google executive to move to his home state of Minnesota with his wife and fellow tech exec, Mary Grove, and their one-year-old twins. Gone from the Midwest for two decades, Grove returned home with fresh eyes. Yearning to put down new roots, he traded his career at Google for a position in state government with Governor Tim Walz. Far from working at a fast-paced tech company, Grove’s shift to leading a large government bureaucracy brought a sequence of struggles and triumphs vividly portrayed with both humor and affection. But this story of reinvention takes on new urgency when crisis strikes, as the coronavirus pandemic and the tragic murder of George Floyd unfolds just miles from his newfound home, thrusting Grove’s work into an unexpected spotlight. Tasked with distributing billions in aid, rolling out pandemic restrictions, redeveloping neighborhoods, and navigating deep divisions in a state long proud of its exceptionalism, Grove’s journey through crisis brings new insights about himself and his new community. His experiences of the political, geographic, and racial divisions in his home state yield surprising discoveries about what also binds us together.
Super Visible: The Story of the Women of Marvel Comics, by Margaret Stohl . Inspired by the hit podcast The Women of Marvel and cowritten by the #1 New York Times bestselling coauthor of Beautiful Creatures, this eye-opening and engaging book celebrates the women who have helped make Marvel one of the most successful comics and entertainment companies in the world. What does a hero’s journey look like when the hero in question happens to be a girl? #1 New York Times bestselling author and Marvel creator Margaret Stohl (The Life of Captain Marvel, Black Widow: Forever Red) along with Judith Stephens (producer and cocreator of the Women of Marvel podcast), and Jeanine Schaefer (critically acclaimed editor) interviewed more than a hundred women and nonbinary Marvel contributors in search of the answer to that question. With one shared goal—to make the historically invisible work of women visible—and with unprecedented access to Marvel creators, writers, and more, Stohl, Stephens, and Schaefer set out to tell the story of the women of the “House of Ideas” from 1939 through today, and along the way, to find the meaning of their own Marvel stories. Packed with biographies and illustrations from creators, graphical reprints and excerpts of historic Marvel comics, and exclusive interviews.
Trailblazer: Perseverance in Life and Politics, by Carol Moseley Braun. The first Black woman ever elected to the Senate. The first woman to represent the state of Illinois. The first Black woman to serve as a US ambassador to New Zealand. These are just a few of the "firsts" that Ambassador Carol Moseley Braun can lay claim to since entering politics in the 1970s. Since then, the self-professed "Black girl from the south side of Chicago" has been shattering ceilings and making history. Yet her journey to Congress and to international renown was not an easy one, rife with obstacles, controversies, and lessons learned. In Trailblazer, Moseley Braun shares the full story of her extraordinary life in a fascinating narrative filled with poignant, powerful, and sometimes funny stories. Born into a family with a history of civil rights activism and military service dating back to the Civil War, Moseley Braun talks about her childhood in racially segregated Chicago to the present, including marching with Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., running for president as the lone woman in a field of men, and fostering surprising friendships throughout her storied career, from Joe Biden to Hillary Clinton.
And last but not least:
Lessons from Cats for Surviving Fascism, by Stewart Reynolds. Cats, the original masters of stealth, sass, and strategic chaos, have been teaching us survival tactics for centuries—they just haven’t been this explicit about it. Until now.
Through humor, sharp insights, and unapologetic defiance, LESSONS FROM CATS FOR SURVIVING FASCISM lays out eleven essential cat-inspired strategies for resisting control and reclaiming power. From staying nimble and unpredictable to demanding what you need with the confidence of a hungry tabby, each chapter is packed with lessons that are as subversive as they are practical.
Whether you’re facing off against a system that thrives on control or just trying to make sense of a chaotic world, these lessons will arm you with the tools—and the attitude—you need to fight back. Cats don’t ask for permission, and neither should you.
