German born director Fritz Lang was a master of the mystery,suspense,noir genre.(Fury,The Big Heat) In this film he reunites the cast of his classic noir "THE WOMAN IN THE WINDOW", Edward G. Robinson, Joan Bennett, and Dan Duryea in a tale of murder and betrayal.To this reviewer the most riviting performance is that of the great (and beautiful) Joan Bennett.The way she deceives the naive Edward G. is a screen classic.Barbara Stanwyck, Claire Trevor,and Marie Windsor could also manipulate men by promising the moon and NOT delivering without a trace of remorse, Linda Darnell could also manipulate but, with at times, a heart of gold.(A LETTER TO THREE WIVES) but Joan here is unsurpassed in her greed.I don't like remakes of great films,but if a remake is made of Scarlett Street I vote of GINA GERSHON in the the Kitty March (Joan) role.GINA would set the screen on fire!
