Episode 340- Blood On The Moon with Alan K. Rode
from Forgotten Hollywood · host JLJ Media
In this episode, I spoke with Alan K. Rode regarding his book "Blood On The Moon". Of the movies that writers and historians call "Noir Westerns," none is more celebrated than 1948'sBlood on the Moon. The comingling of the Western genre and the noir style crystalized in this extraordinary film, in turn influencing Westerns in the 1950s to become darker and more psychological. Produced during the height of the post-World War II film noir movement, Blood on the Moon is a classic Western immersed in the film noir netherworld of double crosses, government corruption, shabby barrooms, gun-toting goons, and romantic betrayals.
