1) Give one example in which a contemporary film noir treats race differently than classic film noir would have.
2) How did the Production Code in Hollywood affect the fate of femme fatales?
3) Briefly compare Brigid from The Maltese Falcon with Kitty from The Killers. What makes them femme fatales?
4) Discuss the significance of gender in Sudden Fear, Sunset Boulevard, and The Killers. Is there a clear femme fatale, femme attrape, homme attrape, and homme fatale in each film?

Discuss how these films reflect shifting postwar gender norms. Use specific examples and quote dialogue from the films.
5) Why did critics neglect to study film noir for so long, according to Paul Schrader?
