As far as capturing noir sensibilities, I think the Coens came closest in

The term film-noir wasn't used until 1946, after the war. It was coined by French film critic Nino Frank. It had nothing to do with the War.

I would say Prohibition and The Depression had more to do with film-noir. Most of the movies involve gangsters and heists and someone is always down and out and looking for a quick buck.

That was the impetus for pre-Code crime films for sure and they're a cousin to noir and a major forerunner, often with some of the same stars and directors. Noir is a bit of a different animal though, primarily in terms of tone.
