Film Noir is associated with a few big American cities, in which the city is presented as a maze:
- New York
- Los Angles
- Chicago
- San Francisco
Within the city most of the action seems to take place in bars, clubs, gambling dens with the protagonist having a cluttered rundown office. If there is a murder in the film it is most likely to occur in a grand house in the suburbs. The finale of many Film Noir films take place in industrial settings, for example, factories, train yards and power plants. All of these places seem to be open expanse of urban areas that are generally unpleasant and dark.
In the popular image of Film Noir it is always set at night and it is always raining.
