Scarlet Street

Scarlet Street is an American film noir from 1945. It is a remake of the 1931 film Chienne (The Bitch) directed by Jean Renoir. Scarlet Street is an early classic non-detective noir directed by Fritz Lang. Criss Cross, a mild-mannered banker and part-time painter (Edward G. Robinson) goes unpunished and unsuspected of the murder of an amoral femme fatale (played by Joan Bennett). This all happens after she and slippery Slim (Dan Duryea) lead Cross to commit embezzlement and eventually more and more crimes. Robinson, Duryea and Bennett also appeared together in another Fritz Lang directed noir, The Woman in the Window. After the success of that movie the three were re-teamed for Scarlet Street.
