[edit] Fandom & Kerfluffles

Because of both the age of this film (60+ years as of this writing) and the [probable] non-existence of a fandom devoted to it (as opposed to fandoms devoted specifically to actors Gene Tierney and Vincent Price), the likelihood of any fannish kerfluffles is minimal.

It should be noted that when the term fandom is used in this case, it does not mean that the film is a forgotten relic on the dustbin of history. As a film genre, film noir, especially those made in the 1940s, is extremely popular with a large fan base who continue to view these films, purchase them on DVD, purchase books related to them, study them academically, as well as enjoy and understand pop culture references to them. However, the majority of these fans are passive consumers of these films, rather than active participants within a larger "fannish" culture. At this time, there appears to be no core group of fans devoting time to writing fan fiction, creating fan art, building websites or performing other fannish activities related to Leave Her to Heaven.
