Robinson gives a first rate performance in the film which was made the same year that he starred in Billy Wilder's "Double Indemnity" (1944).

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.

"Langia vittumaisimmillaan. En ole ikinä ollut Eddie G:n suurinkaan fani, mutta Dong Wang hoitaa homman kotiin. Täysin turhaa myös todeta, että Langin kuvat eivät pettäneet tälläkään kertaa."

"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"
