On the other hand, the man on the right could be an AA member who has left
his besotted gang of friends on the left, and is standing thinking, 'Damn!
Can't those jerks ever have fun without getting smashed?' as he waits for
his gorgeous wife of two weeks, whom he adores madly, to come pick him up.

No Noir.:-)

Re Bill Clough's PAW

I like the image just as it is as it turns the imagination free.

Obviously the man on the right is depressed and a bit drunk.
He is staring at a reflection in the water at his feet.
It is of a half dressed woman combing her hair in the window
of the 2nd floor apartment across the street.
Her inverted image has started him thinking of his youth in
Amsterdam as a photographer's assistant lugging a
view camera to the more notorious districts of the city.
Little did he know then, he would become a serious Leica addict,
spending his meager pension on folding lens hoods for ancient
elmarits and eating his cat's food.
The people to the left are laughing, sharing an digital camera's
image of their party in the restaurant they have just left.
Yes, film noir,  it is.
