Comments Quotes:

"the most frequently heard and least satisfactory thing I hear said in relation to crime narratives and the attractions they hold is that they are 'about the battle between good & evil' - that crime narratives, espically the fictional, are Manichean fantasies of the inevitable triumph of good over evil." (p44)

"Crime narrative is usually seen as being broadly concerned with violent transgressions and the re-imposition of law and order." (p45)

- spectatorship a key element to crime films
- In Blue Murder, neither Neddy or Roger undergo any character reconstruction
-'good vs evil' important for structure
Synopsis An article which discusses the crime and spy genres in film and television. Well worth a read!!!!
