Would you guys be interested in something along the same line? And perhaps a bit more Sleuthy :).

The object of the game is to find a film Noir character, who doesn't necessarily need to be a leading character, but not a third footman either, if he doesn't happen to be the murderer :). We need to guess the character's name and the movie he or she appears in. Googling is permitted, and I am the first to admit that I don't remember the names of characters in movies I saw years ago. In any case, it won't help if we don't know what we are looking for. The films should be "real" Noir movies, filmed not earlier than 1940 and not later than 1960.

I'll start:

I am a woman :).

Oh, thanks for the new name, I rather like it :).

Is the mysterious lady a victim, or perhaps a murderer?

The lady is, indeed, a murderess.

Is there a private detective in the movie? Is he by any chance Sam Spade or Philip Marlowe?

OK. But if you get this too easily, I have an alternative that is real cool and maybe a bit tougher.

The detective is ... Sam Spade.

The lady I had in mind was Brigid O'Shaughnessy (Mary Astror) in "The Maltese Falcon" (take a look at the avatar of my Rosamund Clifford). But I'm very much interested in the alternative :).

You are, of course, correct. And my alternative, if no one objects, is also a woman, but this one is not a murderess.

Can she be considered a femme fatale?

Was the movie filmed before 1950?
