Has anyone got any ideas what can happen in Film Noir.

Not per se sexual, but just anything in general.

Girls: What would you do if you were a femme fatale in Film Noir.

Most film noir revolves around unexpected plot twists ... the most common is the one where she seduces a guy, convinces him to kill her husband, then it turns out she had the whole thing set up all along for him to take the fall.

The woman pulling the strings, in essence, using her sexuality to further her plans.

Good film noir scripts are great in their plotting and pace. Aside from the classics, I like Body Heat, Blood Simple, and the remake of The Postman Always Rings Twice.

The common element is that the femme fatale always has a plan or objective in mind ... no matter how innocent she appears, she's just getting others to do the dirty work.
 
Double Indemnity.

The element of seduction, how she (Ms. Stanwick) slowly draws him in, the amazing ending . . .

I will always love that film.
 
The Postman Always Rings twice...the Jessica Lange version, with Jack Nicholson actually staying in character.

The temptress seducing and using the other man is a great twist for a not so Loving wives tale.
