Guns and death are a large part of film noir, a term coined by French critics when they had an opportunity to finally watch a flood of American films denied them by their Nazi occupiers in WW2.

{NOTE: In the twilight of the silent film era (1927) the thriving German film industry released "Berlin: Symphony of a Great City;" a visual record of a vital metropolis poised between two world wars.
A lovely print of this brilliantly photographed and edited film can be seen in the Internet Archive site.
Movie houses featuring Tom Mix and Charlie Chaplin are briefly glimpsed.}
