SCARLET STREET(1945)
In the set: 100 Greatest Mystery Classics
Edward in a very different kind of role! He's
a hen-pecked husband that's bored with his
life! He meets a woman and starts having
fantasies about her! Of course she's just a
fortune hunter who starts stringing him along!
And worse than all that, she's engaged!!
Eventually things get around to the fact that
the man is an artist and the woman's boyfriend
starts a scam to make a bundle off of his paintings
and saying that the woman painted them!! Things
go from bad to worse for the man which eventually
leads to murder! C+
A review from IMDb.com:
An excellent story, and Edward G. Robinson is
superb. He is such a versatile actor. This
film-noir has impressive cinematography and
a great cast. Joan Bennett is amazing in one
of her best roles. Dan Duryea is perfectly
cast as her boyfriend. It's Fritz Lang's
incredible direction pulls it all together.
He has such a knack for showing characters
in desperate situations. The great score
highlights the drama perfectly. The characters
are so well defined and richly developed.
Rosalind Ivan is remarkable as Robinson's
nagging wife. What a terrific story, so
believably done. It's an unforgettable
film with style, originality and very
strong performances. - jazza923
