From the Classic Hollywood SIG: This Friday (2/27) at 3pm EST, we are excited to be hosting a virtual event that we think might be of interest to your SIG’s membership. Frank Krutnik will be discussing his new book, Thrillers, Chillers, and Killers: Radio and Film Noir

[Sound and Music SIG SCMS @SoundMusicSCMS]

(Rutgers, 2025). Frank’s book explores how these largely neglected radio dramas were counterparts to, influences on, or spin-offs from the noir films and challenge conventional understandings of this film genre.
