Sažetak
Because of their thought-provoking nature and intricate impressions they make on the audience, film noir movies are among the most recognizable and honored Hollywood’s products. Femmes fatales, so important in negotiating the messages film noirs carry within themselves, are at the center of this master’s thesis. After an explanation of the motif, the attention is given to individual instances of acclaimed fatal women in film noir classics Double Indemnity (1944), Mildred Pierce (1945), and Gilda (1946). However, the analyses are dedicated to the examination of the plausibility of their classifications as femmes fatales, together with an inspection of the effect their presence and/or absence have on the movie integrity in general.
