By age, anything before the 1960s, say? By events, really dark events? The era when "film noir" was made? Every era is colorful to those living in it. Will our era seem "noirish" and quaint in 50 or 60 years? Most "noirish" era ever? Maybe the "Dark" Ages, after the collapse of the western Roman Empire? But I'm sure the ordinary people living then lived in a technicolor world and lived as best they could. And the eastern empire, Byzantium continued. And China was booming. Every era has some "noire" aspects. Best "noirish" T.V. series.......77 Sunset Strip, or Perry Mason, or maybe Hitchcock Presents? All in glorious black & white.
