It seems to me that the women might start out as the nurturing woman or marrying type, but rarely do they end the film that way. Either they start out as the femme fatale or they evolve into one by the end of the movie.

Femme Fatale is generally the association one thinks of when discussing women in film noir flicks

If you can find it at a library, this book might be of assistance to you:

The Killing is an underrated film--still holds up pretty well. My favorites of the genre are Chinatown and Double Indemnity

I liked the film noir aspects of the recent movie Hollywoodland, although some reviewers hated it. Cathy and I both enjoyed it.

Double Indemnity....it sounds very familiar. Is that the one with Fred McMurray? Or the one with the crooked cop? (I forget the actor's name right now)

either way, both films had a femme fatale.

Yes. Billy Wilder directed

old Film Noir is my very fave genre; two of my most-enjoyed books are Dark City and The Dark Side of the Screen.
