This is a clip from Gilda. It features Gilda, the femme fatale, dancing for an audience of men at a casino. This wouldn't have been socially acceptable, and so her husband is seen angry and possesive of her. He treats her badly; like a child, like she needs to be controlled and tamed. It is this image of the femme fatale from 1946 that shows how women were viewed then, and in comparison to the femme fatale figure in Kill Bill, it shows how the attitude towards women has progressed.
