Noir in 1966

At 63 entries, one might have thought that noir was mortally wounded. I’ve omitted Eurospy entries, and some of these merit a look, being less gimmicky than the Bond series. Even this shorter list is augmented by several spy movies, deservedly so, and some dramas that are questionable.
