Scarlet Street (1945)

[cigar joe]

The Woman in the Window is comparably visually drabber than Scarlet Street it has that obviously fake studio "forest" set at one point, and it has the BS ending.

I like the visuals in The Woman in the Window (shadows, isolated street, etc).

I understand the complaints about the ending, but the story is told before that ending happens, so I'm fine with it.

I've just seen this for the second time. I enjoyed it the first time and I appreciated so much more on the second viewing.

All the lead players are good. I especially liked it when Joan Bennett lies on a lounger in a Mae West-type pose. She gets painter Edward G. to paint her toenails for her. She drawls "They'll be masterpieces." This is definitely my favourite Fritz Lang film that I've seen to date.

I agree with the rating. 9/10 from me also.

A fantastic movie.  A GREAT movie.  One of Robinson's best...
