Mark H. @Zeppo Oct 26 Razor sharp. Wolves in sheep's clothing all around. See more Alain E @AlainE Dec 29 A very impressive crime melodrama. The characters are fleshed out and their actions obey an inner logic. The hero is a vanilla conventional company employee who marries his landlady and afterwards his conjugal duties are limited to doing the dishes by hand. One fateful night he sees an attractive young woman being abused by her male companion and comes to her rescue. Subsequently, he falls head over heels over her, not realizing that she and her boyfriend have reconciled and they are using him as a source of income. Things progress from financial crimes to actual murder. Bodies accumulate and our hero tortured by guilt ends up a homeless bum. We learn hat crime doesn’t pay, but naive art does. Details on the screen. Tubi has a nicely restored copy. See more Dec 28 One of the greatest film noirs ever made. A masterpiece, and arguably the very best movie Fritz Lange ever directed. The casting, the screenplay, the acting, the camera work, everything about it flawless. See more Rare T 12/14/2024 Scarlet Street can get messy, especially around the end, and that is in reference to both the story and the picture itself. It does feature some impeccable acting and execution, and a few messages for life sprinkled around here and there.

To be fair to the film makers the Hayes Code would have prevented them from ending it any other way.
