"Alert to the aesthetic, political, industrial, and historical provocations and subversions of 'gangster noir, ' I Died a Million Times provides an excellent overview and analysis of this subgenre and reminds us of film noir's rich hybridity. Full of truly superb readings of well-known and less familiar classic noir films, Robert Miklitsch's book, written with striking verve, will engage, delight, and inform scholars and movie fans."–Julie Grossman, coauthor of Ida Lupino, Director: Her Art and Resilience in Times of Transition
