Book Presentation:
"Film Noir Fatal Women" focuses on a single aspect of film noir-America's only film movement. Its 400 illustrations reveal the graphic and sensory core of the femme fatale in noir's classic period. As both visual icon and dramatic persona, the Fatal Woman underlies countless doomed narratives of film noir. From torch singers to gun molls, secretaries to sociopaths, black widows to B-girls, both blondes and brunettes, abused and empowered, the entire catalogue is up for discussion"--
