ABSTRACT

The advertising slogan for the 1951 B-movie FBI Girl was “Woman on a ManHunt!” The ad poster showed Audrey Totter in a skin-tight sheath and spiky high heels, dressed for the only kind of man-hunting Hollywood and the FBI could imagine for a woman in the 1950s. As it turns out, the Totter character is an “FBI girl” because she’s a secretary at the Bureau, reluctantly helping the husky Gmen by getting information from her boyfriend.
