  1. great black and white movie! what a way to “rot!” lost his wife, his lover, his job and wandering around haunted. Very creative indeed!.Need more movies with twists like this.

    That actor depicted his wife as annoying a little to well. She was flicking annoying.geez!

  2. thanks for adding this, really enjoyed;)

  3. Noir in my opinion is truly the greatest genre.

  4. Joan!

  5. Chris’s wife was a BEEATCH!

  6. Brutal and sad! Wowzers. I felt so bad for some of these characters…actually, all of em!

  7. You’re right man, I should take it easy. I’m sorry about that. You know, while you’re at it why don’t you just change the film from black and white to color. It’s just color after all. And monitor resolution has nothing to do with aspect ratio, not that your dumb-ass would know that anyway. No, what bothers me is that fact that you have no respect for the people who made it. Now take this fucking video down and put it up correctly!

  8. @dschmi237 Take it easy man, its just aspect ratio. Go change your monitor resolution if it bothers you that much.

  9. Wow, this may be Fritz Lang’s most underrated movie. A truly compelling tragedy of unrequited love, manipulation, betrayal and guilt with one of the most haunting endings I’ve ever seen. This is film-noir at its finest.

  10. This movie was very interesting. Not only was it a classic cliffhanger, it rang true to life, so many women taking men for their money, so many women putting up with abusive boyfriends, so many older men wanting to buy love from a younger woman and… karma coming back to bite you in the butt from past sins. Awesome!*****

  11. I can not make up my mind which is better…Scarlet Street or Woman in the Window…But I do know Edward G. and Joan Bennett are two of the most underrated actors of their time…WOMAN IN THE WINDOW…gets my pick…Sure wish these two had made more movies together…They are great…really great!

  12. A true masterpiece!!!

  13. he never did master perspective imaginery or real !!!

  14. a true classic-thank you

  15. Great pic…
