In this Paramount 1948 episode we dig deep to get the stories behind the stories of two great film noirs starring Ray Milland:\xa0The Big Clock\xa0(directed by John Farrow), based on a novel by Depression-era poet and Communist Party fellow traveler Kenneth Fearing, and\xa0So Evil My Love\xa0(directed by Lewis Allen),\xa0a historical noir/Gothic melodrama based on a novel by the prolific and many-pseudonymed\xa0Marjorie Bowen. We discuss the ways in which the source authors' viewpoints make for fascinating deviations from standard Hollywood treatment of capitalism and gender.\xa0
