The article is devoted to the issue of a body and body-ness in the American film noir classics. It examines the stylistic role of body-ness implying substantivity and corporality of film images and explores the types of male and female human bodies in their specific semantic, structural and visual functions. The analysis is argued by references to different noirs.
