Let’s put film noir into two distinct categories: surface noir and deep noir. A great example of surface noir: <i>Double Indemnity</i>. A great example of deep noir: <i>Gilda</i>. What makes <i>Gilda</i> deep? The film is not about how sexual desire can lead to a crime, as in <i>Double Indemnity</i>, but about how sexual desire can generate a great (and poisonous) amount of tension, in this case between Glenn Ford and the gorgeous Rita Hayworth.
