In the second installment of Club Havana's Secret History of Cinema, critics Chris Fujiwara and A.S. Hamrah travel forward to 1946, the celebrated year of "film noir masterpieces" such as Alfred Hitchcock's "Notorious," Howard Hawks's "The Big Sleep," and Tay Garnett's "The Postman Always Rings Twice." As usual, we find that the truth about the year in cinema is not quite so black and white.

ALSO FROM TRIPOD
Every Friday, one of the Tripod staffers shares a few informal thoughts with our readers. This week, receptionist Gail Burns ponders her place in the generational hierarchy -- too old to be a Gen Xer, too young to be a Baby Boomer. What the heck is she? If you have any thoughts on this matter, please let us know...
We're always introducing someone new here at Tripod, and this week we welcome Ronan Winter as Tripod's Director of Business Development. Ronan comes to us from Ireland via a number of cool tech companies, most recently Lycos.
See, Ronan's such a nice guy, he goes out on business trips and people hire him. Ronan visited Lycos as a representative for a software firm a few months back -- Lycos said no on the software, but yes to Ronan. Then, Ronan visited us in Williamstown, and we liked him enough to ask him to head up bizdev for Tripod, from Lycos' offices. Now that we know about his charms, we've made some changes in his modus operandi -- he does all his deals over the phone and he's not allowed to visit other companies in person anymore. It's the price you pay for success...
Stay tuned for more musical chairs in the next issue of the Insider.
