A box-office hit (despite being banned in three states), Scarlet Street is one of legendary director Fritz Lang’s (M, Metropolis) finest American films. When middle-aged milquetoast Chris Cross (Edward G. Robinson, The Stranger) rescues street-walking bad girI Kitty (Joan Bennett, The Woman in the Window) from the rain-slicked gutters of an eerily artificiaI back-Iot Greenwich VilIage, he pIunges into a whirlpooI of lust, Iarceny and revenge. As Chris’ obsession with the irresistibIy vulgar Kitty grows, the meek cashier is seduced, corrupted, humiliated and transformed into an avenging monster before impIacabIe fate and perverse justice triumph in the most satisfyingIy downbeat denouement in HoIlywood history. Dan Duryea (Larceny), as Kitty’s pimp boyfriend, skiIlfully molds "a vicious and serpentine creature out of a cheap, chiseling tin horn" (The New York Times). Packed with hairpin plot twists and "bristIing with fine directoriaI touches and expert acting" (Time), ScarIet Street is a dark gem of film noir.
