It Truly Pays: the Crime Film, Museum für Gestaltung Zürich, Until June 6
Intrigue, robbery, murder... the detective film is one of the most popular genres in cinema and television. In analyzing the phenomenon, Zurich's Museum of Design is hosting It Truly Pays: the Crime Film", complete with television detective film serials, as well as full-length films or parts of them, providing a special interactive experience for detective film fans.



The exhibition has a number of thematic parts. For example, Varieties of Crime Film investigates a number of detective film sub-genres and their features, including the 1940s and 1950s Film Noir. In turn, Film Design and Dramaturgy examines the evolution of detective films, focussing on the entry of leading female characters and on the fact that their number has only increased with time.
The exhibition also provides an insight into the creation of special effects and other "behind the scenes secrets", revealing the types of creative visual and audio means used to make detective films appealingly intriguing.
