Whether one is a hard-core fan of film noir or, as author Kimberly Truhler puts it, "you're brand-spanking-new to the genre," it's hard not to be entranced by the fashions of those movies, from the legendary looks to the little-known.

Truhler's new book, Film Noir Style: The Killer 1940s (GoodKnight Books, $45), gives viewers the backstories behind the costumes of the era.

Anecdotes include the harness-like construction that went into Jean Louis' black satin gown for Rita Hayworth in 1946's Gilda to keep it from falling down and the choice of all white for Lana Turner in The Postman Always Rings Twice as a camouflage for criminality.
