Dames

Directed by Maureen Devanik Butterfield
Canada, 1996 (fiction, 9 minutes, black and white, English)

Film Description:
"Slick-as-grease Dames captures all of the energy and sass of classic film noir. You can smell the smoke in its seamy 1940s nightclub, the alcohol on the guys, and the perfume on its sex-drenched dames. But instead of dealing out the genre's dubious fate for women brimming with style and sexuality, its femme fatale Roxie breaks a long held film noir law."
