Eddie Muller in Dashiell Hammett's restored apartment in San Francisco. #FilmNoir #NoirAlley 📷 ~ Matthew Ryan Williams for The New York Times, 2014.

This photo is from an article by Dan Saltzstein "San Francisco Noir" in the New York Times, June 27th, 2014...

The night before, I found myself back at 891 Post Street, Hammett’s home. I was led into the building and up a creaky antique elevator by Eddie Muller, a San Francisco native, author and self-proclaimed “noirchaeologist.” We headed to the fourth floor and entered apartment 401; I was immediately struck by a sensation of having traveled through time.

The apartment has been restored to be a simulacrum of what it might have looked like in the ’20s, outfitted with all things vintage: a gramophone, a frosted-glass door and a desk topped with a typewriter and lamp — and yet another replica falcon.

As we sat down to chat over a bottle of bourbon, Mr. Muller, a pleasantly gregarious man clad in a checkered beige suit, blue tie and pocket square, began to explain the story of the apartment’s revival. (The apartment is not open to the public; I got lucky in that Mr. Muller is one of only a couple of people with access. “It is more like a shrine than a museum,” he told me, with evident pride.)

Hammett had sent letters from 891 Post Street, where he wrote three of his five novels, but the apartment’s exact location had to be teased out of clues, ones embedded in “The Maltese Falcon,” by the apartment’s one-time resident, Bill Arney, who had taken Mr. Herron’s tour years before. Spade, too, lived on Post Street, and a few further details — it’s a fourth-floor apartment in proximity to the elevator; there’s an unusual bend in the hallway — left only one suspect: apartment 401.

After Mr. Arney gave up the apartment, Mr. Muller contacted a friend, Robert Mailer Anderson, an acclaimed writer and philanthropist, who had the resources to make the restoration happen. The idea, Mr. Muller said, was “so that it looks like Hammett just went out for a pack of cigarettes.”

📽 The Sniper (1952) is a groundbreaking American film noir psychological thriller that takes place in San Francisco. Directed by Edward Dmytryk. Starring Arthur Franz and Marie Windsor. #FilmNoir

A cop looking through binoculars for the sniper in San Francisco with Coit Tower in the background.

Director Edward Dmytryk grew up in San Francisco and intentionally utilized the city's steep, narrow pedestrian alleyways and hidden corners to give the psychological thriller a raw, documentary-like realism.

In the 1952 film noir The Sniper, the San Francisco Police Department uncovers the killer’s background by reviewing a specific entry on his history of arrests (rap sheet) that changes the course of the investigation.

In the 1952 film noir classic The Sniper, actress Marie Windsor plays Jean Darr, a piano player who becomes one of the primary targets of a compulsive serial sniper. In this shot she is in her apartment wearing a white strapless dress.

In the 1946 RKO film noir Nocturne, the legendary restaurant featured is the Hollywood Brown Derby, located at 1628 N. Vine Street.While the original Wilshire Boulevard location was famous for its distinctive derby-hat shape, the Vine Street location featured in the film opted for a classic, sophisticated storefront. The movie was filmed around May and June of 1946, and the production team famously left real-life roadwork visible on Vine Street right outside the restaurant during the shot.
