What is the film where noir gives way to neo-noir? I'm pretty sure it happened sometime in the 50s but I can't settle on a title.

Some interesting discussion in the replies to this tweet. Noir is slippery enough that Eddie Muller is able to run a series on twitter called "Noir or Not?" with no end of movies that trigger debate, so we may never be able to settle on answer to the transition question either.
