  • Summary

  • The Femme Fatale occupies a titanic place in the history of cinema, especially in the first half of the 20th century. She goes by many names and takes even more forms. The Chanteuse. The Fallen Woman. The Boss’s Wife. Sometimes she is wicked. Sometimes she’s just in a bad way. Invariably, she is tied to the downfall, or at least temptation, of a male protagonist. In narrative terms, she is a disruptive force. Trouble with a capital T.

    So grab a drink and settle in. For the next twenty four weeks, we’ll be examining some of cinema’s grand dames, tracing the evolution of the femme fatale from silent cinema to today, looking for footprints from designer heels deep in the celluloid dirt.
