From 1934 Hays Code: The treatment of crimes against the law must not: 1. Teach methods of crime. 2. Inspire potential criminals with a desire for imitation. 3. Make criminals seem heroic and justified. Revenge in modern times shall not be justified. In lands and ages of less developed civilization and moral principles, revenge may sometimes be presented. This would be the case especially in places where no law exists to cover the crime because of which revenge is committed. Because of its evil consequences, the drug traffic should not be presented in any form. The existence of the trade should not be brought to the attention of audiences. The use of liquor should never be excessively presented. In scenes from American life, the necessities of plot and proper characterization alone justify its use. And in this case, it should be shown with moderation. The "Code" lasted from 1934-1968 A later answer to your question about the “Bad Guy” winning or crime paying is that it was not allowed by law.

Some of my favorite noir films are almost anything with Barbara Stanwyck. "Double Indemnity", "The Strange Love of Martha Ivers". Another favorite actor, Robert Mitchem in "Out of the Past". Someone mentioned "Night of the Hunter" which is beautifully filmed and really creepy. "Laura" with Gene Tierney and Dana Andrews "The Killing" directed by Stanley Kubrick starring Sterling Hayden. My other half's all time favorite film is "The Aspalt Jungle". Modern film noir's I've enjoyed are "China Town" and "L.A. Confidential". I've noticed that many of these films, made during the 30's and early 40's while the country was still experiencing a depression, served as morality tales. A warning that crime doesn't pay. Are there any films made during that time where the criminal does get away with the crime?
