Femme Fatales translates as deadly woman or killer woman and originates from female vampires in early film. Femme fatales are commonly used in film and were especially common in film noir.
Females are most commonly represented in two ways in film noir. They are either represented as a stereotypical housewife. They are loyal, honest, trustworthy and loving. The second type of female represented is the femme fatale. They are very seductive and use their looks to get their own way. They are shown as very manipulative, dishonest, cold and unloving but are very desirable for the male character(s).
A few films that have a femme fatale as a leading character are ‘The Third Man’, ‘The Naked City’ and ‘They Live by The Night’.
