Great article with some gorgeous screen shots (in my next life, I'm going to look like Rita Hayworth in "Gilda"), but a minor quibble: I would not classify "The Thin Man" as noir, and I'm not sure about. "The Letter" either.
If you want to start an argument among crime-fiction fans, ask a group of them for a definition of "noir." I'm on your side, myself. THE THIN MAN is certainly not noir.
