Rethinking the Femme Fatale in Film Noir: Ready for Her Close-Up - Hardcover
In the context of nineteenth-century Victorinoir and close readings of original-cycle film noir, Julie Grossman argues that the presence of the "femme fatale" figure, as she is understood in film criticism and popular culture, is drastically over-emphasized and has helped to sustain cultural obsessions with "bad" women.

'This is a compelling, informed, well-researched, and deeply original book.'
