Abstract

Few directors expressed Film Noir with the virtuosity of Orson Welles and Alfred Hitchcock. Despite many thematic similarities, a broad philosophical disagreement emerged between the two directors and their films. The respective moral relativism and moral absolutism contained in their films are discussed.
