Amazon.com's Best of 2001
Penzler Pick, August 2001: Two years ago, I wrote a book titled 101 Greatest Films of Mystery and Suspense. In addition to watching every one of those movies again (not exactly a horrendous ordeal), I did tons of research, flipping through or reading more than a hundred books about film. The best book--the one with the most offbeat stories and anecdotes, the most accurate information, and the most entertainingly written--was Dark City by Eddie Muller. It was a fascinating study of the great films noir, and a page didn't go by without my learning something.
Now Muller is back with Dark City Dames. It's a very different kind of book, not offering the big-picture overview that Dark City did, but it's nearly as fascinating. It's a portrait of six of the greatest femme fatales of the wonderful black-and-white crime movies that filled the screens in the 1940s and '50s: Jane Greer (the star, with Robert Mitchum, of Out of the Past and The Big Steal), Marie Windsor (The Killing, The Narrow Margin), Ann Savage (Detour), Evelyn Keyes (The Prowler, Johnny O'Clock), Audrey Totter (The Lady in the Lake, The Unsuspected), and Coleen Gray (The Sleeping City, Kiss of Death, Nightmare Alley).
But these aren't rehashes of plots and quotes from the rave reviews of these stars. Muller personally interviewed each of them, and the second half of the book is a kind of "Where are they now?" Perhaps oddly--perhaps not--these wicked, lying, cheating, double-crossing, money-hungry temptresses of the screen turn out to be rather nice ladies, as normal as one could expect of beautiful movie stars, and Muller brings them fully to life.
There are regrets here, both on the part of the reader and of Muller, that space couldn't be devoted to many of the biggest female stars of film noir. There's no Barbara Stanwyck, or Gloria Grahame, or Veronica Lake, or Lisabeth Scott, or Claire Trevor, or Ida Lupino. Scott became a silent recluse, and the others had died. But that is only in real life. On the screen they will live forever, just as they do in Muller's marvelous love letter to them all. --Otto Penzler
Book Description
Film noir was the dark side of the movies' happily-ever-after mythology. Sinister and sexy, it forged a new icon: the tough, independent, take-no-guff dame. Determined, desirable, dangerous when cornered, she could handle trouble -- or deal out some of her own.
If you thought these women were something special onscreen, wait till you meet the genuine articles. In Dark City Dames, acclaimed film historian Eddie Muller profiles six women who made a lasting impression in this cinematic terrain -- from veteran "bad girls" Audrey Totter, Marie Windsor, and Jane Greer to unexpected genre fixtures Evelyn Keyes, Coleen Gray, and Ann Savage. The book surveys the lives of these formidable women during the height of their careers circa 1950, as they balanced love and career, struggled against typecasting, and sought fulfillment in a ruthless business. Their personal stories -- teeming with larger-than-life characters like Howard Hughes, L.B. Mayer, Robert Mitchum, Otto Preminger, and John Huston -- offer an illuminating counterpoint to their movies, such as Out of the Past, Detour, The Lady in the Lake, and The Killing. Then Dark City Dames revisits each one of these women today, fifty years on, to witness their hard-won -- and triumphant -- survival. On every page their own voices ring through, reflecting on their lives with as much passion, pain, intelligence, energy, and humor as any movie script.
Dark City Dames re-creates the excitement and glamour of a group of gifted performers who lived out their youthful fantasies -- and, along the way, remade the image of the American woman.

Then-and-Now Biographies of 6 Actresses of Classic Film Noir.......2004-12-30
Author Eddie Muller proved himself adept at engaging readers with a lively tour of classic film noir in his popular book "Dark City: The Lost World of Film Noir". In "Dark City Dames", Muller presents then-and-now biographies of 6 actresses whose portrayals of femmes fatales will forever fix their images on the consciousness of film noir audiences. The first half of the book, entitled "Hollywood Midcentury", introduces us to these women, who came to Hollywood from a variety of backgrounds and locales, but all aspired to be movie actresses and were under contract to one studio or another in the late 1940s and early 1950s.
Jane Greer was brought to Hollywood from Washington, D.C. as a teenager under contract to RKO. She made "Out of the Past" and "The Big Steal", among others, before Howard Hughes vowed to end her career. Audrey Totter was straight-laced, professional, and ambitious. She acted in 6 film noirs, among them "The Lady in the Lake", "The Unsuspected", "Alias Nick Beal", and "The Set-Up" before remarkable coincidence began her married life and ended her film career, just as coincidence had launched it. Marie Windsor was the pride of Marysvale, Utah, who had dreamed of being an actress since childhood. Pragmatic and persistent, her dark hair made her the villain in "The Narrow Margin", "Force of Evil", and "The Killing". Evelyn Keyes was backwards and unworldly when Cecile B. DeMille signed her. But her persistent curiosity and independent nature inspired her to many Hollywood adventures. Her films included "Johnny O'Clock" and "The Prowler" , before she walked away from Hollywood after 13 years in the business. Coleen Gray was an insecure midwestern farmer's daughter, but you wouldn't know it from "The Sleeping City", "Nightmare Alley", or "Kiss of Death". Anne Savage was headstrong and vivacious, as her stage name implies. She will be best remembered for "Detour", which might have ended her decade-long acting career.
In the second part of "Dark City Dames", "Hollywood Fin de Siècle", we meet the 6 actresses today. Now in their 70s and 80s, the ladies of film noir tell us what happened as their film careers dwindled and what they've done since. It's interesting that the revived interest in classic film noir has brought these actresses a lot of unexpected attention and praise that was lacking when it would have helped their careers. Several of them lament the demise of the studio system that protected actors even as it limited them -and studio politics ended many careers prematurely. All of the actresses profiled cooperated with the author, so their stories are personal and very much their point of view. "Dark City Dames" doesn't actually say much about the films or the characters these actresses embodied. It's about the experiences of its 6 heroines, who, as young starlets in post-war Hollywood, probably aspired to be A-list stars, but became indelible vixens of film noir instead.
This guy knows what he's talking about!.......2004-02-25
I met Eddie at a lecture in San Francisco during the Noir Festival at the Castro Theater, and this guy really knows his stuff. He is the quintissential renaissance man; a writer, a thinker, and (more than likely) an artist. His books do nothing less than to amaze the reader how a man so young coud have gained so much knowledge about a genre that happened before his birth.
Those Dangerous and Intriguing Women.......2003-10-28
One of the most challenging roles for an actress is that of a femme fatale. She must exhibit far more than mere treachery. The femme fatale must convince audiences that what the poor male succumbing to her charms is experiencing is plausibly merited. She must exhibit the kind of overpowering appeal combined with a Svengali manner to sell audiences that the poor man's captivated fascination is plausibly worth it. Otherwise the whole story falls flat.
Eddie Muller writes about women who accepted that challenge and surmounted it convincingly. Jane Greer is a classic example. While only 22 when she appeared opposite Robert Mitchum in the classical noir work, "Out of the Past," she revealed a native intelligence and air of sophistication of a woman who had been around forever. Mitchum, while fully aware of her treachery, found himself incapable of turning away until it was too late and he was ultimately doomed.
Ann Savage was a former model who found her niche as a femme fatale in one of the most remarkable low budget triumphs in Hollywood annals, "Detour," directed by independent film genius Edgar Ulmer, who took a no frills, low budget project and carved out a classic by using limited space to commanding advantage. Tom Neil could not get away from Savage, who exuded a suffocating presence on the hapless musician, who was trying to reunite with his singer girlfriend in Los Angeles. Savage clearly had other ideas.
Marie Windsor was a willowy former beauty contest winner who traveled from her small Utah hometown to Hollywood in search of fame. Her height was a turnoff initially in her career and she was compelled to work in a lot of low budget westerns before getting her opportunity to shine, which she did in Stanley Kubrick's "The Killing." Her scenes as the faithless wife in love with gigolo Vince Edwards and her shamefully sadistic usery of husband Elisha Cook Jr. serve as a dramatic highlight of a superb, hard-hitting movie about an ex-con played by Sterling Hyden, who seeks to engineer a holdup of a racetrack on the biggest pay day of the season. The more Cook begs and implores, the more savagely biting the wisecracks which emanate from Windsor, but in the final analysis the henpecked husband hits back in a way neither she nor Edwards are able to anticipate.
Coleen Gray and Audrey Totter are also included in Muller's work. His penetrating interviews enable the reader to get familiar with the personalities and their lives away from the cameras. Gray played the girlfriends of Sterling Hayden and Tyrone Power in two noir gems, "The Killing" nnd "Nightmare Alley," while Totter was the love interest of detective Philip Marlowe, played by Robert Montgomery, who also directed, in Raymond Chandler's "The Lady in the Lake."
Superb biography of the queens of film noir.......2002-04-28
Some 50 years ago, the women of this book worked in relative obsurity amidst the shadows of large studios during film noir's heyday. Now with the resurgent popularity of the film noir genre, these actresses are finally being recognized for the keen talent they possess and the effect they had on a generation of movies.
None of these women are household names because none of these women were given the star publicity treatment that Myrna Loy, Joan Crawford and others were givne during the same time period. But their stories are every bit as interesting and author Eddie Muller tells them wonderfully.
Muller is obviously a fan of folm noir, but does not let this color these biographies. Rather, Muller deftly allows the six actresses featured here to tell their own stories. The result is an honest, touching and insightful view into the Hollywood moviemaking era of the late 30s to early 50s.
Each actress' life is chronicled from the time she was born until the present. The personalities shine through as Muller shows the different ways in which each woman found a love for acting and was later "discovered" by Hollywood. The result is poignant. From the exhileration of the "big" movie to the sorrow at the death of a spouse, each life is fascinating. A great book!
DAMES ? This one you can live with!.......2002-02-22
Dark City's leading citizen has done it again with Dames. In this beautiful book, 'hiz honor' introduces us to the lives and work of Jane Greer, Ann Savage, Audrey Totter, Coleen Gray, Evelyn Keyes and Marie Windsor. Do you dare argue?, the quintessential Noir Babes?
It is fair to say that the author's work here is nothing less then visionary. These actresses have never received the credit that they deserved and now in the their golden years someone has come forward to celebrate the contributions that they made to the American Cinema. The word on the street in Dark City is, that no one could have done it better than the Mayor, Eddie Muller.
Among his works, Dark City: The Lost World of Film Noir and a recently released novel 'The Distance'. He is the co-director of the American Cinematheque's Annual Festival Of Film Noir at the Egyptian Theatre in Hollywood during March and April.

BEWARE OF THE GODS!.......2004-08-10
Faiths and Avatars, Powers and Pantheons, and Demihuman Deities make up for one of the BEST Forgotten Realms accessories (they are in trilogy form) ever made. The Trilogy sheds light on exactly what the title says: Gods-and there sure is lots of them! The books, which are very well written and very well presented, also focus on other areas such as each church's distinct culture, tradition, and history. As a result, they will win you over for sure!
Eric Boyd does a FANTASTIC job of presenting the different pantheons, ranging from background history, to rank descriptions, to their respective magic, thus allowing for the creation of important people and characters, to adventure hooks and encounter tables, to magical items and artifacts, to new spells and treasures. This accessory has it all and more!
Each god has his own supplementary text information, clerics' and worshippers' alignments, Specialty Priest class and their alignments, church symbols, specific spells, special abilities, dress garb, even information relating to actual temples.
For other FR references/adventures, I STRONGLY recommend: the Old Empires accessory on Chessenta, Mulhorand, and Unther, Dreams of Red Wizards on Thay, Dwarves Deep, Draconomicon, the Jungles of Chult and Moonsea accessories, the Shadowdale, Tantras, and Waterdeep adventures, the Ruins of Myth Drannor (Elven pantheon) and the Ruins of Zhentil Keep Box Sets for Bane vs Cyric material (they are Second Edition AD&D, out of print and it will take a bit of searching, but it's well worth it). For updated editions of events in the Realms, see the Third Edition Forgotten Realms Campaign Setting, which even though is quite expensive, is still very useful to all FR fans.
Moreover, for those interested in the gods, the Forgotten Realms novels to read are: The Avatar Trilogy- Shadowdale, Tantras, and Waterdeep, the Prince of Lies, and Crucible: the Trial of Cyric the Mad. In addition, the Ring of Winter is relevant to the Chultan pantheon and specifically to Ubtao, as it is the only novel set in the Jungles of Chult.
Faiths and Avatars, Powers and Pantheons, and Demihuman Deities along with the Forgotten Realms Adventures accessory, and the three Forgotten Realms Campaign Settings (one for each edition) are a "must!" They all compliment each other.
Whether you are playing in the Forgotten Realms or in the Planes, this trilogy of books will be of tremendous help in collecting all the information you'll ever need.
Nice book.......2001-11-11
I found this book REALLY helpful in fleshing out the culture of some of the more non-European sections of the Realms. The details on the history of the various areas was VERY useful when I was creating my own campaign world, and if I have a complaint, it is that the book wasn;t longer...
Also, if you need a super-monster, this book comes with three of 'em. Always a pleasure, if you need a quick "Godzilla" to run at your party.
Excellent Work.......2000-08-09
This book isn't on the same level as the Faiths and Avatars, but it is still excellent. If you like being or running campaigns that deal with a lot of differing beliefs (Think Avatar Triology) then this is a must have. The priests' abilities are a little more balanced than F&A. Also if you are in a campaign where a complaint is a cleric is only a cleric there are enough different shades of clerics to have fun. If your setting is in the jungles or Chult or outlands of Thay, or you would like them to be, this book details all of the religions of that region. But if you only want to buy one book on Forgotten Realms religions, buy Faiths and Avatars first.
Generally a Solid Work.......2000-03-13
I've always been a big fan of the Forgotten Realms' selection of godly powers with a nice eclectic mix of characters from our own mythology and some generally solid creations of the authors' own. Powers and Pantheons is a good collection that expands on an already voluminous selection of deities within the Faerun, and gives the player a very wide choice of gods to choose from, be they good, evil, or indifferent. My only major gripes are some of the special abilities the priests get are sometimes too overpowering. Mostly, though it is the absurdity at the temple of Selune in Waterdeep. Apparently the goddess gifts her faithful with great big gobs of glowing white goo that resembles something that Cthulhu my blow out of his nose. I have visions of this naughty tentacle monster chasing squealing Selunites around the temple like some goofy Urutskodoji monster. Second is the moronic assertion that a lich is anything but EVIL! And so ALSO at the temple of Selune with the glowing goo is an arch lich...who is chaotic good...who sustains her appearance by life leeching evil creatures...and this is OKAY with people? Come on, creatures are CONSIDERED TO BE EVIL because they life leech other creatures, and a supposedly good aligned creature doing it to evil creature DOES NOT make it okay. Other than that, this is a solid work and a good addition for any DM who wants to add more religions to his or her campaign and maybe give players some new choices for faiths. Well worth a look.
Wanna buy a clue?.......2000-02-05
Looks like the others who wrote reviews here don't uderstand the point of Powers and Pantheons. It's supposed to be part of a trilogy of books that detail the Forgotten Realms pantheon, the third book being Demihuman Deities. If your characters run all over the Realms, then the whole series is recommended. If not, Faith and Avatars, and (probably) Demihuman Deities will be more than enough.
My one gripe with the whole series is I don't think the specialty priests were playtested, or playtested enough. Some of them are overly powerful and can run roughshod over a campaign. To all DM's I caution, look carefully at the description of a particular specialty priest before allowing them to be PC's.

A Bit More Than Beginners.......2000-11-22
Originally published under the title 'Anti-Nuclear Handbook' by Pantheon Books, this book is set out to raise awareness to the issue of nuclear power as it posed a threat in the eighties (and most likely today as well). While it begins quite simply explaining how nuclear power came about with the advent of Oppenheimer and the atomic bomb in which it was used in WW2, from then on it was harnassed as a tool. It seems to have caused more destruction and problems than the bomb itself has manifested. At this point in the book, it seems to trail into political stances and other world problems. The author Stephen Croall is also the author of 'Ecology for Beginners,' which is evident that the author is somewhat self righteous in his own stance, regardless of his points. The book eventually becomes bogged down with too much information that it transcends comic book beginners status and into intermediary positions. So in essence, it was not an altogether enjoyable read. While I dont know much about nuclear power in general, I would imagine this being an ideal place to begin as I would guess its a thorough and tough subject to ascertain comfortably.

Book Description
A penetrating look at the company at the nexus of big business, government, and defense
The Carlyle Group is one of the largest private equity firms in the world with over $13 billion in funds. Carlyle's investments include everything from defense contractors to telecommunications and aerospace companies. But there is more to this company than meets the eye. Carlyle's executives include heavyweights from the worlds of business and politics, such as former secretary of defense and CIA deputy director Frank Carlucci, former secretary of state James Baker III, former President George Bush, former UK Prime Minister John Major, and former chairman of the SEC Arthur Levitt. Osama Bin Laden's estranged family was personally invested in the group until recently. In The Iron Triangle, journalist Dan Briody examines a company at the nexus of big business, government, and defense that, according to some sources, epitomizes corporate cronyism, conflicts of interest, and war profiteering. This fascinating examination leads readers into a w orld that few can imagine-full of clandestine meetings, quid pro quo deals, bitter ironies, and pettyjealousies. And the cast of characters includes some of the most powerful men in the world. Strap in, because this ride could get a little bumpy.
Dan Briody (New York, NY) is an award-winning business journalist whose Red Herring article "Carlyle's Way" broke the story on the inner workings of the Carlyle Group. Briody has appeared on numerous radio and television programs covering the Carlyle Group and has become a primary source for other journalists covering this story. Briody's articles have appeared in Forbes, Red Herring, and the Industry Standard.
Customer Reviews:
All inuendo no depth.......2007-08-07
I purchased this book. Book is shallow with no depth. Dan Briody clearly does not know the Carlyle Group, its principals or anything else. What a waste of time and money.
Smear Campaign? .......2005-08-22
I'll be the first to admit that the Carlyle Group seems to "work" the system...perhaps even abuse it to profit from their "connections" to goverment. And yes, they've done a few thing most people would find to be inappropriate. However the author's case would have been much more compelling had he simply stated the facts and not editorialized so much. The result makes you feel like it's a crackpot conspiracy theory. His liberal use of adjectives and obvious melodrama to make us think something horribly sinister is afoot made me bitter toward journalists, rather than his intended target, the Carlyle Group. Typical of the news media today: he couldn't just report the facts...he had to color it with his political (or paranoid) biases.
Corrupting the American Dream.......2005-05-10
Do not buy into any negative spoilers attempting to downplay or destroy "The Iron Triangle." I used this book as background research for my college thesis and its contents made me feel ashamed to be American. If it was not for Dan Briody's reporting instinct and tenacity, every American would remain ignorant as to the inner sanctum of Carlyle and how it works its connections in D.C. and around the world. Could you imagine our so called "bastions of freedom"; CBS News, FOX News and ABC/Disney running a feature length investigative piece on Carlyle's history and its people? Unlikely, or even unthinkable. --So much for a nation of "freedom." In writing "The Iron Triangle," Dan Briody has done the nation a public service, and if you want to educate yourself about Carlyle, but can't spare the time to read an entire book, then I'll point out parts you should not miss: "Carlucci's Connections" Chapter 4, "An Arabian White Knight" Chapter 6, "Family Business" Chapter 11 and "9/11/01" Chapter 13. The letters reprinted in full in the appendix are actual Carlyle letters to the DOD and they should also not be missed. Democracy, what Democracy?
watered down conspiracy theory rubbish for the masses.......2005-05-08
This book gains no real traction beyond the dust cover's framing of the conspiracy theory around the Carlyle group. Facts stated in the first few chapters are often repeated later on in the book and you end up asking yourself, ''yeah so what?''. Not clear what the author's angle is, he doesn't appear to have any special information on the interworkings of Carlyle and remains just an outsider compiling information easily available from various sources. Ultimately the book fails to tell a cohesive story and instead results in a semblance of newspaper articles or magazine features with the author's views often repeated and reiterated throughout the book in a monotonous and droning voice with not the slightest bit of climax.
However, if you are rather simple minded and a non business oriented individual, you may find the book's lack of factual basis and meaning is quite just your speed.
The Trail of the Octopus.......2005-04-03
I picked up a copy of The Iron Triangle in my local bookstore, and having read the backcover, I knew I just had to purchase a copy.
Briody's book is first class investigative journalism which provides an in-depth profile of one of America's most secretive and politically influential companies; The Carlyle Group. Although the author makes it clear that his book was not welcomed by Carlyle, he has done a formidable job in showing just how far and wide the tentacles of this octopus have spread over the last decade. Written almost like a thriller, The Iron Triangle lets you see the inner workings of this "political powerhouse" and how they use their unique "political access" to the White House and Pentagon while investing thier private assets of over $13 billion in areas as diverse as Health Care, Homeland Security and Defense. At the very least, this book makes you question the notion =and acceptablity= of 'political access' to today's policy makers by yesterday's politicians furthering their own financial gains.
From the backcover:
"The company does business at the confluence of the war on terrorism and corporate responsibility. It is a world that few of us can imagine, full of clandestine meetings, quid pro quo deals, bitter ironies, and petty jealousies. And the cast of characters includes some of the most famous and powerful men in the world. This is today's America. This is the Carlyle Group."
