Scarlet Street

by

Dir. Fritz Lang (1945) Lang, reteaming with his cast from his earlier The Woman in the Window—Edward G. Robinson, Joan Bennett, and Dan Duryea—creates one of the finest noirs in this tale of a meek, respectable middle-aged cashier and Sunday painter unraveling over an extorting temptress.
