Gilda: 1946
This scene highlights a stereotypical femme fatale as she is both seductive and dominant at the same time. She dances, ensuring that the men in the rooom are staring at her and through this she is the object of attention and sexual desire. The mise-en-scene connotes a sense of independancy as her dress sense is glamourous yet she wants no man to dance with her.
Elsa:The Lady From Shanghai 1948:
In this scene, we see a phallic symbol e.g. cigarette which is usually a manly trait. As she is singing we see that the male characters are enticed with her singing which connotes that she is dominant in this scene as she controls it.
