THE WOMAN IN THE WINDOW

Here’s a film with a dream-like look that’s really more like machinery greasing for Scarlet Street. Nothing in The Woman in the Window is bad, really, but the ending is a cheat and nullifies everything that had gone before it.

Slant’s 100 Best Film Noirs of All Time (100 movies items)

"In both his German and American productions, Lang’s characters wrestle with impulses that are at odds with prevailing social standards. Similarly, Lang, an architect of film noir, had to learn how to tame his massive and politically dangerous visions for America, which isn’t as uncomfortable with anti-fascist sentiments as it should be. Lang understands the suppression that’s casual in American life, even for the privileged men who’ve benefitted most from the American contract, such as P"
