The Woman in the Window (1944)
Country: US
Technical: bw 107m
Director: Fritz Lang
Cast: Edward G. Robinson, Joan Bennett, Raymond Massey, Dan Duryea
Synopsis:
A middle-aged professor's safe, orderly life is plunged into turmoil when he falls in love with a portrait of a woman who then materialises and involves him in blackmail and murder.
Review:
Startlingly similar in premise to Preminger's Laura, made at about the same time, Lang enjoys following Robinson's character as he gets more and more out of his depth and yet finds reserves he never knew existed. The leads worked so well together he recast them in Scarlet Street a year or so later.
