A Fool There Was (1915) is the film that made Theda Bara a star and introduced the archetype of the femme fatale — the vamp — to cinema. A respectable married man falls completely under the spell of a seductive and ruthless woman who destroys him financially, morally, and spiritually, one conquest at a time.
