Golden Noir

The storie that I think is the best example of noir in the gold coast series is The Girl Who Kissed Barnaby Jones because the main charecter in the storie Cherie is the apitamiy of the femme fatal. She uses her sexappeal and her femanine wiles to persuaied Tate into helping her get rid of a 350 pound body. But sometimes all things dont go as planned, for instance Tate thinks Cherie is calling him because of a conflict in tomorrow's scheddule. Tate plannned on getting off work and going to Koreatown, not miles out of his way to the Palisades, where he thought he would run into tons of traffic, on the 101 and especialy on the 405. But it was smooth sailing all the way to the palisades. Another one of the reasons I think this storie is an example of noir is, it takes place in a major city. LA as a matter of fact. This storie also takes place at night so you get that kind of dark evil feeling, not just because it takes place at night but because you are heading into the unknown at three in the morning. Usually at three in the morning in the middle of LA there is a bit of mist in the air, that also adds to the dark evil feeling.

When Tate arrrives at the house where Cherie invites him things start to go better than he could ever imagine. Cherie just puts the offer of sex right out there for him. He didn't have to put any work into it at all, When things seem to good to be true they usually are, just like in this sittuation. Now Cherie has Tate right where she wants him, and only then does she reviel the true reason she invited him over. Not for the sex, but to be an accomplise in murder, in the true femme fatal fashion.
