Publicity for this picture stated that the precedent for beautifully shrewd duplicitous predator 'femme fatales' had been set during the 1940s by such extraordinary leading ladies such as Mary Astor as the gloriously untrustworthy Brigid O'Shaughnessy in John Huston's classic 'The Maltese Falcon' (1941); Barbara Stanwyck, with her famously fetishized ankle bracelet, in Billy Wilder's seethingly sexy 'Double Indemnity' (1944); and Rita Hayworth, embodying the mysterious temptress Elsa Bannister, in Orson Welles' 'The Lady from Shanghai' (1947). It was also noted that modern movie 'film noir' pictures had starred sultry women such as Kathleen Turner in Lawrence Kasdan's 'Body Heat' (1981); Linda Fiorentino in 'The Last Seduction' (1994); and Kim Basinger in 'L.A. Confidential' (1997) for which she won an Academy Award.
