Femme fatale.
Femme Fatale #1 - Gene Tierney - Laura 1944.
'Through me she met everyone, men admired her, women envied her'
Gene Tierney is represented in various ways as the typical femme fatale. One way shown within the the trailer itself is with the title 'who is Laura?', 'what is Laura?' this plays a part in the mysterious representation of the stereotypical femme fatale.
The voice over also adds to the representation as he says 'you have rarely met a girl like Laura. Few women have been so beautiful, so exotic, so dangerous to know'. Which fits the criteria of the dangerous, sly look that is expected from the femme fatale. Laura is also approached by several men, even though she is taken she still plays to their needs. Later one Laura also kisses a male who isn't her other half.
Femme Fatale #2 - Joan Bennett - Woman in the window 1944.
'You mean you're afraid of me?'
Joan Bennett is directly portrayed as the typical femme fatale as she is seen with a male in scene smoking a cigarette looking spohisticated where she sexually says 'You mean you're afraid of me?'
Femme Fatale #3 - Kim Basinger - L.A. Confidential 1997.
Kim Basinger is a high-priced call girl and a Veronica Lake look-a-like. She walks and talks like the classic femme fatales, but in Hollywood she’s let off the leash, moving beyond cleverly suggestive dialog and actually seducing men into on-camera sexual encounters. Within the clip she seduces the male to spark of a sexual innuendo. At the end of the clip you see a photographer who takes pictures of the action taking place, which represents her as the steroytpical femme fatale as being devious and sly.
