Windy City Confidential

Film noir's golden age lasted from 1941 to 1958. But it didn't die there--several movies since have invoked the spirit and style of noir effectively. Case in point: “L.A. Confidential” (1997; 138 minutes), directed by Curtis Hanson. It's coming to a CineVerse screen near you on April 24, as chosen by Peggy Quinn.
