[edit]

Strange Love of Martha Ivers, Blonde Ice, Dishonored Lady, Night Editor, Strange Woman, Whistle Stop, and Too Late For Tears should not be on this list. None of them have horrific or supernatural elements, they are merely Film Noir with some thriller elements to them. I am still wondering why such a selection could be so blatantly mis-categorized. These are all films where the femme fatal is indeed the villain of the piece, that is really the only unifying theme I can see. If anyone sees something I don't let me know. Otherwise I think in future they should be removed, even if it means there are fewer post war horror films - which does reflect reality. The horrors of WWII tended to outshadow anything that Hollywood could produce, hence we have lots of films suitable for a Saturday Matinee. EraserGirl (talk) 17:54, 16 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I agree. I've cleaned up and added cites so we don't have so many wonky additions to this list. If there are any more problems, feel free to address them or discuss them here. Cheers! Andrzejbanas (talk) 11:09, 17 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
