This sophisticated new book presents four femme fatale paper dolls who look sexy and chic in dozens of fashions from films such as Double Indemnity, The Maltese Falcon and The Lady from Shanghai. Included are seductive gowns, smartly tailored suits, playwear with pizzazz and sensational accessories. An essay by David explains the Film Noir genre and its fascination with fabulous '40s and '50s fashions.
