Illustrates how sound tracks in 1940s film noir are often just as compelling as the genre’s images. Focusing on a wide range of celebrated and less well known films, this introduces the notion of audiovisuality to investigate period sound technologies such as the radio and jukebox, phonograph and Dictaphone, popular American music such as 'hot' black jazz, and 'big numbers' featuring iconic performers such as Lauren Bacall, Veronica Lake, and Rita Hayworth.

He is the editor of Psycho-Marxism and the author of From Hegel to Madonna: Towards a General Economy of "Commodity Fetishism" and Roll Over Adorno: Critical Theory, Popular Culture, Audiovisual Media.
