Review of Scarlet Street (1945) by Kevin M. W — 30 Apr 2017
A gripping noir that starts softly but builds terrific tension, the story of a cashier celebrating his 25th year with the company on the way comes across a young woman struggling from her violent boyfriend.
He quickly falls in love & begins to paint (his hobby) but the girl assumes he is a rich painter & wants to exploit him.
Once he finds out the film takes another direction entirely & keeps you guessing. A very stylish film from German Master Fritz Lang!
