Too old for noir?
Regarding “Festival Romances the Dark Side” by Susan King (March 28) about the festival of film noir, I read the article with interest and was thinking how great it will be to see all these classics at the Egyptian. I’ve seen many of these movies, but only on television because most of them were made before I was born. But, it seems, not long enough before I was born. Festival programmer Eddie Muller “programs the festival to attract young audiences,” an “entirely new generation.” In his bold marketing strategy, Mr. Muller follows that of the entertainment industry and ignores the fact that there are many more people my age than there are 20- and 30-year-olds!
