Film noir (/fɪlm nwɑːr/; French pronunciation: [film nwaʁ]) is a cinematic term used primarily to describe stylish Hollywood crime dramas, particularly such that emphasize cynical attitudes and sexual motivations. Hollywood's classical film noir period is generally regarded as extending from the early 1940s to the late 1950s. Film noir of this era is associated with a low-key black-and-white visual style that has roots in German Expressionist cinematography. Many of the prototypical stories and much of the attitude of classic noir derive from the hardboiled school of crime fiction that emerged in the United States during the Great Depression.
The term film noir, French for "black film" (literal) or "dark film" (closer meaning), first applied to Hollywood films by French critic Nino Frank in 1946, was unrecognized by most American film industry professionals of that era. Cinema historians and critics defined the category retrospectively. Before the notion was widely adopted in the 1970s, many of the classic films noirs were referred to as melodramas. Whether film noir qualifies as a distinct genre is a matter of ongoing debate among scholars.

A sample clip I created from the noir movie Inner sanctum ( now in public domain) with back ground music from Kevin macleod ( youtube free music library).
We invite you into the world of 1947 noir in Los Angeles. Everything should be sunny, but the smog creates a fog, a haze that permeates not just the lungs, but people's psyches. This is a world that looks great on the outside: classy cars and snappy dressers, but under the tailored facades and shiny demeanors, it is a place of intense mood and deep shadows, a place where people's true character may be as well hidden as the stoney face of a gambler holding a royal flush. Moral lines are anything but black and white. Add to this betrayal, passion, ambition, money and sex, and detective Roland Drake has his work cut out. But then, trouble is his business.....

I'm an island
Everyone can see that I'm an island
I've got ocean just about
Everywhere that I can see
So I'll be stranded unless you come to me
And I'm lonely
I would rather fall from grace completely,
than let you change my mind
I would rather bet my life against the rising of the sun.
Can't be too careful
About the friends you keep around you
Some won't ever let you down
Some who'll fail you every day?
And it's a blatant disrespect of privacy
It enrages me
But I would rather fall from grace completely,
than let you change my mind
I would rather bet my life against the rising of the sun.
I'm an island
Can't you understand me I'm an Island
And I'm finally by myself
The way I've got to be
Now that's exactly the thing that's been killing me
I would rather fall from grace completely,
than let you change my mind
And I would rather bet my life against the rising of the sun
