I can think of no character in film noir that wears sunglasses in the day or night.
Welcome to the boards, martink!

Double Indemnity indoors … time of day not apparent "We had picked out a big market on Los Feliz. She was to be there buying stuff every day about eleven o'clock, and I could run into her there. Kind of accidentally on purpose."Having nothing to do with sunglasses or time of day, I've sometimes wondered if Stanwyck's wig wasn't the same one rented to MGM 4 years earlier for Norma Shearer in Idiot's Delight, with the bangs restyled.

Doghouse6 yah well … ok.... points for the sunglasses though ! OR
Maybe it was a generic "day" and that covered 11 PM too ? Said , desperately grasping at straws
Norma's "do" seems a paler shade of blonde but otherwise … yeah ! Dyed and restyled ?

Dyed and restyled ? Or maybe Jean Brooks's from The Seventh Victim, with about 4 or 5 inches lopped off.

Doghouse6 we need to do another wigs and hair thread if we cannot find the old one. Many come to mind !
Barbara was the only "Sunglasses in a Noir" I could find YET …. but am sure there has to be more ! <kicking George into the corner for the moment >

Probably it started happening in post modern neo noirs. Yeah, I am sure there must be more but I cannot see any in my mind's eye, as they say. When I think of film noir I usually think "black and white". Not everyone agrees what it means. My post was more or less to welcome you to our group. I noticed it was your first post. I think you will have fun here.

Got me curious now and I couldn't find any images of noir sunglasses other than the ones I posted. Jake wears them but he's in bright sunlight and he IS Nicholson !

Although I personally would classify "Wait Until Dark" as a neo-noir because it was later than 1959, it features a villain (Harry Roat, Jr. from Scarsdale) who wears his shades at all times of the day, indoor and out. In this late scene, it is night in Suzy Hendricks' apartment and there is only one light on, yet Roat will not take off his sunglasses.

In spite of its Technicolor opulence, many have classified Leave Her To Heaven as fitting into film noir, thematically if not necessarily visually. Gene Tierney as Ellen Berent Harland is as cold-blooded a duplicitous and self-interested femme fatale as any. Still not at night, however.

I have to start to wonder how "cliché" this sunglasses at night is if so few noirish images of sunglasses in the daytime are being found. ON the other hand, there's this : NOIR SUNGLASSES Not wanting to discourage new member martink … we're working on it ! keep those questions coming
