O papel da Femme Fatale na sociedade dos anos 40


Já mencionei algumas vezes sobre o elemento Femme Fatale no filme noir, e acabo de encontrar no site Doc Films uma matéria interessante que enfatiza o processo de inserção da mulher no mercado de trabalho com o pós-gerra, porém sua imagem no cinema ainda como uma espécie de bandida e usurpadora para conquistar o desejado, pela sua não aceitação por completo num mundo até então masculino.

"Como as mulheres foram se tornando mais ativas no trabalho e na família com o pós-guerra, foram permitidos papéis femininos no cinema... a Femme Fatale é alguém...capaz de usar o protagonista masculino para atingir seus próprios objetivos."

...os tipos de poder somente revelou como as mulheres americanas tiveram pouco poder na vida real. A femme fatale não ganha poder honestamente, ela é ou um bandido, uma sedutora, ou uma boa menina temporariamente equivocada...Levaria mais alguns anos antes que as mulheres fossem autorizadas a um papel legítimo na sociedade, dentro e fora da tela."

Acessem para ler a matéria na íntegra e ainda ver os comentários sobre clássicos e suas incríveis Femme Fatales.

Bad Girls of Film Noir - Ida Lupino


Ida Lupino reforça o time de Bad Fatales em Women's Prison, de 1955.




"Where do the bad girls go when the law catches up with them? Some of Noir's notorious femmefatales are locked uup in prison with Ida Lupino as the sadistic warden. Strong performances from Lupino, Jan Sterling, Cleo Moore, Audrey Totter and Howard Duff turn what otherwise might have been a melodramatic story into an entertaining twist on an age-oldtale of institutionalized redemption.

Bad Girls of Film Noir - Cleo Moore



A próxima Bad Girl é Cleo Moore, atuando em Over-exposed de 1956, e One Girls Confession, de 1953.


"Lewis Seller (Women's Prison) directs Cleo Moore and Richard Crenna in this story of an inexperienced, ambitious girl who, after being caught in a raid at a clip joint, has the chance to learn a trade as a photographer. Her new profession brings her closer to respectability and the opportunity to use her talent to extract blackmail. Moore was often the ""bait"" in movie publicity campaigns; in Over-Exposed, the exploitation was more explicit.



"Part of The Bad Girls of Film Noir II, One Girls Confession from director-writer-producer-actor Hugo Haas tells a story of Mary Adams. Mary is working for a cheap waterfront restaurant where the owner maltreats her and cheated her father out of fortune. This Film Noir Stars Cleo Moore, Hugo Haas and Glenn Langan and is a must see.

Bad Girls of Film Noir - Elizabeth Scott


No YouTube há alguns vídeos enviados pela Columbia Classics, enfatizando as Femme Fatales ou Bad Girls do gênero noir.

Elizabeth Scott é lembrada em Two of a Kind, de 1951, e Bad for Each Other, de 1953.



"Two of a Kind: The premise of this classic film is enticing — three grifters try to work a complicated inheritance scam on an elderly California couple. They plan to pass off a fellow con artist as the couple's long-lost son, and claim a huge inheritance when the aged millionaires finally kick over. The cast is rock-solid, and includes noir icons Edmond O'Brien and Lizabeth Scott, as well as President Wilson himself, Alexander Knox.
Catch a glimpse of famed Film Noir ""bad girl"" Lizabeth Scott in this short Two of a Kind Clip.



"In the 40's and 50's the juiciest roles for actresses in Hollywood were often in B-pictures that explored the dark side of life: starring roles as cool, calculating gals who could stick a knife in a man's back and make him like it. Lizabeth Scott, Gloria Grahame, and Evelyn Keyes were some of the best of the period, and are among Noir fans' favorites. These dames shine a like the brightest stars in Hollywood, and each film packs in plenty of the best bad girl behavior. This famed clip from Bad For Each Other, starring Lizabeth Scott and Charlton Heston, is just a glimpse into what Columbia Classics has to offer.
