Scarlet Street (1945)

Very Interesting Film


This one is better than I guessed it would be from the plot description. I quite enjoyed this gem!

Edward G. Robinson is Christopher Cross - a man very lonely even though he's been married for 5 years. He's never had the love of woman and wants that in life so badly that he tried to get with a woman years younger than him, Katharine 'Kitty' March. Kitty is in-love with Johnny Prince who is NO Prince at all, in-fact he's a real jerk but so Kitty. Together Johnny and Kitty decide to try to take Christopher for all his money by Kitty playing on Chris' loneliness. Little does Kitty know that Chris is broke and ends up stealing money to give to Kitty because he's grown feelings for her. But things end up much worse than Johnny, Kitty or Chris ever planned for.

There is a twist in the middle with Chris, and his wife Adele and her dead husband - that leads to an even stranger ending.

Well worth watching, a very good mystery film!

9/10
