Nobody has shot a strip club in black and white in a long time.
Screenplays are not works of art. They are invitations to others to collaborate on a work of art.
Don't ever let the viewer settle in and get ahead of you.
Ultimately, it's an illusion that you can understand yourself.
Let's just shoot in black and white. Don't explain why. Have no reason for it. Just do it because it's interesting.
Film noir is not a genre. It is not defined, as are the western and gangster genres, by conventions of setting and conflict, but rather by the more subtle qualities of tone and mood. It is a film 'noir', as opposed to the possible variants of film gray or film off-white.
