Hello there,
It would really help to know which titles you have already accumulated -
equally, when you say "classic detective films before the '40s, noir and
post-noir", does that mean you don't mind what period it comes from? And by
detective do you mean private eyes or something broader?
I dare say you know all about these, but the first examples to spring to my
mind are CRACK UP (RKO, 1946) and maybe THE BLUE DAHLIA (Paramount, 1946)
and the recent Hollywood remake of Dennis Potter's THE SINGING DETECTIVE and
of course Herbert Ross' film Nicholas Meyer's THE SEVEN PERCENT SOLUTION
featuring Sherlock Holmes and Sigmund Freud.
Incidentally, have you read Zizek's "The Detective And The Analyst - The
Shift From Detective-Story To Detective-Novel In The 1920s" (Literature and
Psychology, 1990).
