Abstract

In the following article we propose to carry out the analysis of the films Apenas un delincuente (Fregonese, 1949), Del otro lado del puente (Rinaldi, 1953) and Final Rehearsal (Lugones, 1955), works belonging to the Argentine film noir made during Peronism, in which urban life takes center stage. Starting from the study of the affective mappings of the protagonists, we will try to demonstrate how a Peronist feeling develops in its paths, while we will develop a study of the spaces in the Argentine variant of the noir genre.

Keywords: film noir | Argentina | peronism | city | affections

This article is, for the time being, only available in Spanish: La ciudad de los nervios excitados: vida urbana en el noir argentino clásico
