Film noir is a cinematic style of dark, cynical crime dramas from 1940s-1950s Hollywood, characterized by moral ambiguity, fatalism, shadowy low-key lighting, and themes of betrayal and despair.
The Flamingo Film Noir Club was inspired by Eddie Muller's Noir Alley on Saturday nights on TCM. And just like Noir Alley, your host will first Introduce the film noir selection by providing interesting facts about the film noir selection, the film will then be screened, then afterwards we will discuss the film. We will also highlight some Neo Noir films here-and-there.

Originally opening in 1966 as a three-room library within the Airport Annex building, the Clark County Library moved in 1967 to a storefront. In 1971, the library moved again to its current location using deeded land from the County and with money awarded by the Max C. Fleishman Foundation. The building went on to have two remodels: one completed in 1986, and the second completed in 1994, which resulted in the three-story, 120,000-square-foot building it is today. This redesign notably included a 399-seat theater and an 80-seat black box theater/dance studio. The Library District also added the Best Buy Teen Tech Center, which provides a place for teens to explore and master new technologies and digital skills.
