Edward G. Robinson, Joan Bennett, Dan Duryea, Margaret Lindsay, Directed by Fritz Lang. Considered one of the greatest pieces of film noir cinema ever made. Robinson, in one of his best performances, plays Chris Cross, a cashier who's just been given his gold watch at retirement. As fate would have it, he runs into a gorgeous woman (Fontaine) on the way home who soon has him wrapped around her finger. She and her boyfriend (brilliantly played by Duryea) then take him for a ride that eventually ends in ruination and murder. Never has any movie given a more brilliant example of why you should NEVER murder someone. This film is a wow. Engrossing and and emotionally charged from start to finish. It is a true masterpiece from Fritz Lang. From 35mm.
