I remember we spoke about Astor in this film at The Other Place, and most agreed that this was one of her lesser efforts in the femme fatale department. I think another problem is that there wasn't much chemistry between her and Bogart.Dewey1960 wrote:Astor's a strong enough actress to pull off her role in the general sense, but I agree that she has absolutely no sex appeal in the FALCON. But that's the least of that fine film's problems (sorry, but it barely qualifies as film noir).
As for classic femmes fatale I would hereby nominate my three favorites:
Jane Greer (for OUT OF THE PAST)
Jean Gillie (for DECOY)
Ann Savage (for DETOUR)
